3/15/2018

 
Council meeting highlights:
- We made a motion to suspend the Church Bylaws for the time being regarding Council number. At this time, we do not have 12 Council Members, so we are operating with a reduced load. This will continue until more members volunteer for Council, or until we rewrite the Bylaws
- Summer worship will start Memorial Day weekend and continue through Labor Day. It will be one service at 10:00 a.m.
- Juan de Dios Lopez will be preaching at Zion September 16th.
- Ann Marie reported the website updating and the new Servant Keeper program is progressing nicely.
- Because of construction, we will not have a picnic for Greater Zion Day. It will be celebrated July 22nd (since camping weekend is July 15th) with an ice cream social after worship

For Financial Management, a one-time cost of $380, and then $70 annual cost. Motion was seconded and approved with none abstaining and no votes against.

Nicole’s 3-year secretary term would have ended in May, and Michael’s team member (building & facilities) a year from May. They expressed thanks for this opportunity to serve, and the joy they have felt while serving Zion in this capacity. They will cherish the friendships made while on council. Volunteers for Council Secretary and Team Members are needed and appreciated!!
