Message from the Board President

September, 2007

Dear Friends,

I hope your summer was restful and rewarding and all that you would have it be! Your board members continued to meet and to do the routine work of managing the affairs of the church, teaming with the staff, and planning to be a beneficial presence. We reviewed the financial report, the minister’s report and were updated on committee work. Discussions included our planned fundraising activities, the leadership development plan, and the annual picnic in September.

Please join us for the wonderful Fall Life Enrichment Series! My wish for each of us is for a rich and prayerful fall season.

With thanks for all you do and share,

Anne Schmitt
  President, Board of Trustees
