There was some discussion regarding assignment of coffee hour – since we have new committees as of the last congregational meeting. Larry will contact John W. to see if there is a way to automate email reminders regarding liturgist and communion duties.

MEMORIAL COMMITTEE – tabled until next month

PHONE TREE – Stephen will bring next month.

DEACON PICTURE – Marcia will ask Nancy Jo to take a picture to update the one on church website.

GOALS FOR 08 – Don asked that we spend some time at our next meeting thinking of goals for this year.

PSR INTERN – Stephen explained that PSR policy is not to fund an intern until after they are already placed in a field ed position. Skyland’s current policy is to fund an intern every other year. It was moved, seconded and passed that Deacons are in favor of having an intern every year, if PSR would fund the difference. (i.e. Skyland’s budget would continue to fund one intern every other year.) We also asked Stephen to relay our concern to PSR.

The meeting was adjourned at 1:15 p.m.

Next meeting is March 9, 12:00.

Respectfully submitted,

Jennifer Busam
