Project Team Minutes June 17, 2008

The Project Team met on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at the Church. Pastor Bob, Dale and Richard were present. Carl and Pat were absent. Also, in attendance was Rick Belinson to work with the Team on our Blessings Campaign.

The meeting was opened in prayer by Pastor Bob and proceeded as follows:

* The Team discussed the Session's approval for spending authority for the Team. Pastor Bob indicated that the Project Team was to be accountable for reporting all spending to the Finance Committee.

* The Session also gave the Project Team approval for launching the Blessings Campaign at the three Church services on Sunday, July 13, 2008.

* The Team reviewed the Blessings Campaign materials and approved the printing, with minor corrections, as presented.

* There was extended discussion based on comments from the Session regarding how people may give. It was agreed that an addressed, stamped envelope will be included in the Blessings Campaign folder for ease of return. In order to assure thoughtful giving, Pastor Bob is planning on announcing a time(s) for meeting with him for prayer. In addition, the Team discussed the need for people to have the ability to remember our church in estate planning. However, the Team decided that our focus was to be on the immediate needs for Phase I of the project. A line will be added to the return card that will allow individuals to request additional information about longer term giving.

* The Team spent the remainder of the meeting discussing the actual format of the July 13 services and the launching of the Blessings Campaign. It was agreed that Pastor Bob will be the only speaker at the 7:30 AM Service, and Dale will talk at the 8:30 and 10:30 Services along with Pastor Bob. The rest of the Team will help hand out the materials.

As a result of the above discussion the following action items were agreed to:

1) 1000 copies of the final version of the campaign materials will be ordered, with 500 folders being assembled for July 13. - Rick Belinson.

2) Request the Church Office make 500 addressed (to include the words "Blessings Campaign") and stamped envelopes for inclusion in the folders. - Richard

3) Provide posters (to Pastor Bob) for the church and an electronic copy (to Harlan Lutzow) of the cover of the campaign brochure for the big screen. - Rick Belinson

4) Notify the Finance committee and the Church Financial Secretary of the need for their support in receiving, tracking and reporting the pledges and donations that are generated for the project, and for reviewing all Team spending. - Dale

5) Prepare a short presentation for the July 13 services. - Pastor Bob and Dale
