On Wednesday, January 13, the Church Council elected new officers for 2010.
Dirk Foster was elected for a second term as Council President, and newly elected officers are Steve Peterson, Devonne Hermosillo, and Roger Brenny. The Council also expressed a thank you to the outgoing officers from 2009. The officers of the Council, along with a pastor, make up the Executive Board which meets to set the agenda for the council meetings and to discuss and resolve issues and questions that do not need to go to the full Council.
At the January meeting, the Council also reviewed and approved the timeline and process for naming a Call Committee to call a permanent Associate Pastor. If you are interested in serving on this Call committee, please submit your name to any member of the Council. The full Council will elect the seven members of the Call committee on Wednesday, February 17.
In other business the Council :
- reviewed and approved modifications to the fundraising guidelines for the church, approved a recommendation to take over the administration and management of the Buffalo Community Ministerial Association’s Assistance Fund for three years
- assigned Council representatives to the various committees
- approved a recommendation to conduct a special Congregational meeting for the purpose of discussing a new capital funds campaign.
The next meeting of the Council will be a 2/3 day long retreat on Saturday, February 6, when the Council will be discussing the Bridgebuilder reports and the motion that was tabled at the 2009 annual meeting.
