From the first meeting, the minutes are:

Talked about the petition that was circulated throughout the congregation and discussed how best to approach the subject at the congregational meeting. We also discussed what the petition means. It was discussed that many who signed the petition did so for different reasons. There was some frustration that members of the church have worked hard to get to the point where we introduced conceptual ideas. It was suggested that there may have been a misunderstanding regarding these "ideas" as actual plans and that should be clarified.

It was decided that at the meeting we should approach this positively and stress that we are only in the beginning stages.

We discussed that the building committee is not detail or "nuts and bolts" group but rather a group that oversees the entire process.

We elected Ron Landek as our Chair and discussed appointing a Vice Chair when all members are present.

The next meeting will be on Wednesday Feb. 27 after the lenten service.
