Worship Community

I really think this is an excellent idea. Denise also talked to me about it. I liked the idea then, I like it now. As one of our mandates was to broaden participation, I really think this format will help. I would add that the advantages of having broader participation, and a growing sense of community far outweights the advantages of tighter, smoother, better rehearsed music on Sunday morning because of set groups. My opinion, for what it is worth.

Couple other items that I would like to propose. We have a meeting coming up. I would like suggest this as an agenda.

1. Feedback from the congregation - compile a list of main positives and negatives. Please everyone have research prepared, in written form.
2. Discuss what practical things can be done to strengthen/maintain positives and respond to negatives.
3. Discuss the possibility of a more elder member being included on the team - pro's and con's.
4. Discuss the idea of the worship community. Nat would you be willing to flush out some of the details for the meeting and present. I can ask Denise for some of the correspondence she recieved from the church in Madison, that she was referring to.
5. Discuss progress made in dialogue with the teaching Team. Nat, have you had any further conversance with Mark on this matter?
6. Other items deemed important?
