Please make sure you have this Saturday's Fellowship Dinner on your calendar.  If you have not been invited by a table captain, contact Nancy Cole at 313-882-1605. 

As we get together for fellowship, dinner and to kick off the pledge drive for the next church year, we will be considering the following:

  • There were no employee raises last year; we should consider a 3% raise this year.
  • The Religious Education program is growing; we would like to increase the DRE position from 20 to 26 hours per week.
  • With the growth in the RE program, childcare costs are increasing.
  • The Welcoming Committee is a new committee that will require funding.
  • As we try to increase our presence in the UUA, there may be a need for more funding for registration expenses.
  • The Ministerial Search Committee is continuing at least one more year and will require funding.
  • We should start to set aside some funds to renovate the bathrooms to make at least one of them handicap accessible.

      •  On the bright side, our new boilers should
      begin to save us money on heating costs next year.  Also, of course, there is lots of new energy in the church as we grow through this transitional period.  Come prepared to enjoy good food and camaraderie as we renew our commitment to our church.
