    CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

    JULY 23, 2007

    This has been a difficult time for our pastors and our congregation with the recent deaths of beloved members of our church family. We are grieving together.

    Matt Ringstad was approved as a member of the Search and Call Committee. The Committee expects to begin telephone interviews of candidates in August.

    Budget Committee plans an open dialogue with the congregation after worship on Sunday, August 5.

    Stewardship Board is working to update Time and Talent surveys.

    Membership Board will call every member of FCCB during the month of August just to stay connected with everyone.

    We are reminded to check our pledges and make sure they are up-to-date.

    Worship in the Park, a delightful outdoor worship experience followed by a picnic, is August 12 at Cornwall Park at 10 a.m.

    Mark your calendar now for Sunday, SEPTEMBER 16. It is “I’ll Be There” Sunday and all members and friends of FCCB are encouraged to attend this very special day.
