__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Monthly Business Meeting was held on October 6, 2021 (view minutes by church clerk): 1. We are just short of our goal of $2,000 set by the WMU for the Eliza Broadus Offering. As of today, we collected a total of $1,695. 2. Our annual Trunk and Treat event will take place on October 27th from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. The safety team will provide security for the event. Candy is being collected in the vestibule to help furnish the bags. 3. A motion was made and accepted to transfer the proceeds from the sale the 2001 Dodge church van ($1,200) to the “Embrace Tomorrow” Facility Renovation Capital Campaign fund. The title for the van has been transferred so insurance needs to be cancelled for it. The premium was very recently paid so there is hope to get some or all of the balance back. 4. Makayla Wheatley announced the resignation of herself and Caden from the position of Youth Directors. They will, however, continue to be the Youth Sunday School teachers. 5. Reagan Davidson, gave her resignation as the Interim Music Director effective this Sunday. She has accepted a position with a church in Glasgow which is closer to family. 6. The Personnel Committee will meet next Wednesday to start the process of filling the two positions vacated tonight. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Announcements and Upcoming Events We will have our Annual Trunk and Treat Event on Wednesday, October 27th from 6-7:30 p.m. It will be a "Drive- Through" activity under the portico on the left side of the church.
