c) Property. Murray Gamble reported that this committee of 8-10 people is, as its name suggests, responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the church, rectory and grounds (the latter with the aid of the Garden Guild and grass-cutters). Meetings occurred every 6-8 weeks, as necessary. The main committee projects for this year are the refurbishment of the rectory and existing memorial/sign, and the provision of a new sign. Murray asked Mike Stredwick to telephone the Regional Waste Management Authority to confirm that we do require on-going garbage collection at the church and rectory. Mike agreed to do so. d) Worship. MaryLynn Forrest said that this committee meets bimonthly on the third Tuesday of the month; it includes representation from such bodies as the Altar Guild and Servers. Easter arrangements will be discussed at the next meeting. Currently it is the aim of the committee to keep the form and timetable of worship as familiar as possible (sometimes difficult with interim clergy). Change will be inevitable with the advent of a new minister, and a succession of changes is undesirable. It was confirmed that there will be three services next Easter Sunday at 7.15 a.m., 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. e) Atmosphere. Catherine Carlson said that she was delighted to have taken over the direction of this committee, and that the next meeting is next Tuesday; after this, meetings will be bi-monthly. Existing and new members are both welcome. A car rally is planned for May, and a Food Truck event will be held on May 27th (Lesley Burland-Prong pointed out that the youth group, who undertook a number of duties at the last Food Truck event, will be unavailable on that date). A picnic at Mannheim with other Kitchener churches is planned for June (Catherine was reminded that these events need to be entered in the office calendar, and that, regarding the picnic, duties need to be divided between the clergy attending, the altar guild needs to be alerted, and a sound system must be provided).
