We
have devised a great way for committees to accomplish their
vital work and at the same time for new and more established
members to get to know one another, at All Committee Night,
which is held the fourth Tuesday of each month. We gather
at six for fellowship and an always-creative and fabulous
supper imaginitively prepared by our resident vegetarian chef,
David Messier. Then after a brief general "check-in,"
the committees break off for their individual meetings and
return after an hour or so to report.
This is a church where individiuals really can and do make
a difference -- to the manner in which we worship, to the
social justice programs we pursue, and to the recreational
and fellowship activities that are such an integral part of
our "family" life together.
Here is the way our committees are presently configured and
populated:
Membership:.

helps integrate new members into Congregational life. Trains
and recruits Greeters. Board Liaison. Rexanna Lester.

Fundraisers and oversees the Church budget. Will meet on all
committee night, starting June 2007. Board Liaison: John Iaderosa.
