Pastor’s Report – Pastor Moyer reported there will be a new member reception on Sunday, May 5th, between services.  There was a date change to the upcoming Communion Classes.  They will be held three consecutive weeks, starting May 24th.   Pastor also reported that the Faith Legacy Father/Son Outing went well.  Pastor created a pamphlet for the men’s B&B and suggested that we create a pamphlet for each of the Faith ministries.  He also proposed we set up a TV and scroll the upcoming events and ministries on Easter Sunday.  Discussion took place and it was decided that a TV will be set up downstairs and another upstairs for this purpose.  Pastor acknowledged and thanked Steve Tino and the Trustees for all the work that has gone into the overall technical improvements.

Board of Trustees – Steve Tino reported things are moving forward with the new phones and copy machine.  We should have the copy machine installed by mid-April.  We are having our alarm system reworked, cameras installed in office and lower foyer, and installing an electronic lock on lower entry doors.  The trustees also finished most of the outside new window trim work.  A work bee is planned for April to finish.  Steve replied to Life Lines request for use of our building.  The Life Line screening will take place June/July 2019.

Old Business – Dean reported there will be a CPR training on May 4th at 9:00 a.m.

New Business – Dean reported that we are looking for a company to come in and do some shredding for us.  They will inquire on cost and decide whether it’s feasible to open the shredding up to congregation and community (as a community outreach service). 

Dean explained that people call into the office when inquiring about facility availability and it would be helpful to have the facility usage calendar at their fingertips.  He requested ideas to make the calendar more accessible.   Discussion took place, no decisions were made.
