Meeting Notes from Official Board

A presentation was made to MariLynn Fraleigh, former Charge Secretary, in thanks and recognition of her 18 years of ministry in that position.

The Pastoral Charge budget for 2008 was approved.

The churches will offer to host a group of university-aged youth from South Korea at the end of January, beginning of February 2008. A friend of mine, who works (through the Mission and Service Fund) as the chaplain for Hanshin University in Seoul, is bringing a group of students on a mission trip to southwestern Ontario. The Official Board agreed that our churches offer host this group of 15 people through billeting and transportation; the details have yet to be finalized, more information will come as it's available.

A revised pastoral charge cost-sharing ratio of 38% Appin, 62% Trinity (to be in effect for 2009), will be presented and discussed at each congregation's Annual Meeting.

That's all that stands out for me as "highlights" of the meeting; anyone else with something to share?
