Caring Team – May 10, 2012
Syd Benson gave a report on the Circle of Caring and the 50 Year Luncheon Planning Committee. The Luncheon will be held Saturday, September 29 at 11:30 a.m. The committee has decided on a menu and has people ready to help. Some Circle of Caring crafts are still available for delivery.
A brief summary of the April Congregational Council meeting was given.
Most of our meeting was a discussion of our church-sponsored Ice Cream Social during the Community Band Concert on Friday, June 22. Medith Davis will be the organizer and the rest of our committee will help her recruit bakers and workers. Kelly Charnley will work on publicity and fliers for the Messenger. We expect lots of support from our church members.
Our next meeting will be a week early: Wednesday, June 6 at 7:00 in the Library. This will give us time to complete plans for the Ice Cream Social.

Caring Team – Jan. 2012
The Caring Leadership Team met on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 in the church library. Pastor Neal led the group in an opening prayer. The November minutes were approved and the financial statement reviewed.
Members of the team spent some time discussing possible candidates for team membership for the 2012 year. Several names were suggested and these people will be contacted regarding serving. Syd Benson gave a complete review of the services of the Circle of Caring and then the team discussed the possibility of launching a new project for the coming year.
It was decided the Lenten Dinners will be changed to Lenten Desserts followed by Lenten workshops/study groups which will be sponsored by other teams. Elly Aberegg and Nancy Montgomery volunteered to set up a schedule for providing and serving the desserts. The first Lenten Dessert night will be Wednesday, Feb 29th.

Eighty-eight persons signed the sign-up form and approximately 135 attended. A large number of desserts were donated by members of the church – - many attendees commented on the quality of the food. Thanks to Medith and Elly for organizing and overseeing this event. Plans for the picnic following “Alive on the Square” were finalized.
