Administration Meeting Minutes - October 28, 2006

Attendees:
Mike Brady, James Davis

Next Meeting:
Saturday, December 2, 8:00 AM

Purpose of Administration Meeting:

Developing leaders that can follow through with excellence in all of the five fold ministries as we coordinate body wide activities and serve each other as unto the Lord

• Discipleship
• Evangelism
• Worship
• Service
• Fellowship

Specific Topics discussed this month:

Finances:
Balances are lower than normal, but no concerns. It is now time to be thinking about the Budget for 2007. Please make Dan, Mike and Kevin aware of any ministries that will need financial resources in 2007. Mike suggested that we set up another Biblical Financial Principles class soon for some of the folks that have recently joined the church.

Job Posting:
One of the goals of this team was to identify jobs that could make our ministry better and to better utilize some members that would like to contribute time and service but just don't know where to start. We have made some progress and still have a few roles.

• Maintaining a list of small repairs around the building ( need volunteer )
• Mercy administrator ( need volunteer )
• Maintain a rack of pamphlets in the bookstore (see Mike if you are interested)

Building: ( Kevin/James for Donovan )
Windows remain the top priority. LCF suggested sliding windows with screens instead of crank windows. We also added a few new items to the list.

• A few windows in rear of building at dangerous point of falling out
• Need to repair drywall and paint in entry way.
• Plumber: Repair the outside faucet in the rear of the building
• Plumber: Repair the leaking faucet in the upstairs men's restroom
• Plumber: Repair baptistry heater ( water heater or jacuzzi heater instead of current system)
• HVAC ( Install air return for the sanctuary, Ventilation for Sound room for equipment, workers and most importantly the thermostat )
• Lighting: Sanctuary and foyer
• Remove brick mail box - replace with a normal mailbox in one of the community's cluster of mail boxes. Safer for drivers pulling out of driveway, elimination of an eye-sore.
• Need to rebuild shed or tear it down ( need communication with users and neighbors )

A few work items that occured during October:

• Repair of Thermostat in back section of education wing (Thanks Billy)
• Stripped and waxed floors ( Thanks Tim )
• Removal of clutter ( Thanks to all, especially Kara )

Youth: ( Matt )
No report this month, Matt in Texas for his grandmother's funeral.

College: ( Mike for Josh/Kent )
Kent has a vision for college ministries in homes of Tatesbrookian's. Someone that can understand that college students stay up late... and minister to each other best at that time.
