Worship services are every Sunday at 10:00 and 11:15 a.m. “Social Distancing” will be continued and masks are encouraged. Anyone with suspected symptoms of COVID-19 are asked to stay at home. And any of our members and visitors who are at high risk should consider delaying his/her return to church services. The deacons and security team continue to take appropriate measures to provide a clean and safe environment for everyone. Church-wide Sunday School has not restarted as of yet. However: • The Pairs and Spares class has been meeting in the old fellowship hall at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday for several weeks to review a Sunday School lesson. Anyone is welcome to join the group. • The “Young at Heart” Sunday School class will begin meeting June 30th (Wednesday) at 1:00 p.m. and there will be 5 teachers sharing the lesson. Any lady of the church is welcome to join the group. Visitors are always welcome. The class will be meeting under the tree next to the portico. If you are interested in participating, you will need to bring a lawn chair. Josh Veatch has gotten the members Sunday School books and he can get more if he needs to. The first lesson the group will study will be the first Sunday in July of the Sunday School book. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Monthly Business Meeting was held on July 14, 2021 (see summary of minutes): 1. The parking lot re-sealing and striping has been completed. Once all the bills have been paid, the Parking Lot Expansion Fund will be dissolved at the next monthly business meeting. 2. A motion was made and accepted to have the following members serve on the Nominating Committee for the coming church year: Nick Cobb, Kelly Carney, Lea Ann Moore, Mark Speer, and Dennis Wise. 3. A motion was made and accepted for the to enter into a contract with Miles LP Gas for the purchase of 4,000 gallons of propane gas at a pre-paid cost of $1.399 per gallon. The church still has a little over 1,000 gallons of gas left over from last year because there was a reduced need for gas secondary to the facility not being used during the COVID-19 pandemic. 4. A motion was made and accepted to install a Wi-Fi thermostat on the middle HVAC unit (there are three) that service the Fellowship Hall. This would allow the heat and air to be adjusted without being on the premises as needed. The unit could still be adjusted manually on site. This will be done by Keltner Contracting at a cost of $325 for the thermostat, including the installation fee, for the one unit. A motion was also made and accepted to find out how much it would cost to add Wi-Fi to all three units to see if the installation fee might be reduced. 5. A motion was made to create a “Committees Handbook” to be used by the Nominating Committee when asking potential members to be part of a committee. It has a description of each of the committees that are named in the Constitution and By-Laws document and it describes the nepotism policy when forming the committees. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Announcements and Upcoming Events Congratulations to Josh and Ashley England upon their marriage on July 17, 2021.
