Greetings from the Planning Cell. In order to keep our church family informed we are starting a regular column in the Sunday bulletin. We would like to encourage you to take the time to read them and prayerfully think about the issues we are considering. It is impossible for us to share the entire meeting (3 ½ hours worth) but we think it is critical to share some of the bigger issues we face as a Planning Cell. We met Wednesday evening and started with some time in prayer. We spent a good hour on Mission committee items and we are all so impressed with the work they have done. Great job to all who are serving on that committee. We also continued our discussion on restarting small groups. As a planning cell we all agree on the benefits of small groups. Our main concern is the form and structure of the groups. We don’t want to start them and then watch them fizzle out in a few months. We would appreciate input from the congregation as we prayerfully consider small groups. Another topic of discussion was the work done on the Steiner house. For those of you who don’t know, when the Steiner’s went to the States for Christmas a group from the church broke into their house and did some home repairs. Daryl and Kristin had been living in a house that had no plumbing in the kitchen and the washroom plumbing wasn’t working properly. They had kitchen cabinets but no countertop and the floors were plywood. Well, after a week of work the house is very livable. The plumbing and wiring has been re-done in the kitchen and there are new fixtures in the washroom. Countertops have been bought and installed. New flooring has been laid and fresh paint is on the walls. The cost of supplies came out of the benevolence budget and the countless man hours came from the loving, caring servants who saw a need and were willing to do what was needed to help. What amazing blessings we have in this fellowship. Thank you to everyone who pitched in with food, repairs, cleaning, painting and the financial support needed to do this good work. Things that we will be considering in the next few meetings will include the need for a congregational meeting, Communication and Financial Reporting, and renewal of the Planning Cell. There were many other things discussed but those will have to saved for the next update.
