Action Completed Personnel Policy Manual Completed and approved by the Executive Committee and presented to the staff at the end of April Budget Requirements (if any) none Council Report Member name: Pastor Sara Spohr Date: April 2018 Action Items in Progress / Pending My biggest action item continues to be the Mission and Outreach task force and transition. We are working carefully to be able to bring this plan to the congregation by the Annual meeting. This will include a short publication piece, an Adult Ed 10:10 forum, and a short presentation. While this work is exciting, the change is also a challenge to may who have worked on this committee for a very long time. We are working carefully and intentionally to bring them along. This plan is important work for the life of our congregation and its success is vital, I am grateful for the work of the transition team, Dave Richter, Kris Olsen, Sara Mohn, and Erik Wollhowe, who are faithfully attending to this work. Here are a few preliminary pieces from our publication piece that we are preparing to share more widely: Outreach is love in action! The gospel commands us to love God and our neighbor - through acts of service, love, generosity, and kindness we seek to share God’s abundant love with all people. We believe that we are stronger together, and that our collective acts of service can make a significant impact on our community and our world. Not only that, when we serve, we love. When we love, we grow in our faith.
