CHURCH COUNCIL MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
On September 1 the Church Council
*reaffirmed its approval of allowing Cub Scout Pack 475 to use the building on the back of our property as a Scout Hut.
*approved requests from the Building and Grounds Committee: We will receive the gift of some playground equipment from the City of Daytona Beach Shores and pay up to $500 per year in increased costs for liability insurance. We will have workdays each month in order to keep our grounds looking good. We will pay up to $850 to have stumps ground on the rear of our property.
*heard from Church Treasurer Vernon Buchanan that our weekly giving is falling $650 short of budget needs. The pastor talked about his plans to preach on "Our Hope for New Hope" and his belief that giving will follow vision. Plans are being developed to encourage members to commit to paying down our building debt so that monthly mortgage payments can be reduced and funds freed up for ministry.

Boyd Frank has been looking carefully at worship attendance. He is beginning to compile figures that allow us to compare attendance from last year. Average worship attendance in August of ‘08 was 74. In ‘09 it was 98. Our average worship attendance for the last 12 months is 89.
