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
Income and expenses are tracking near the projected budget.
Share the load (Adjustments for 2009):
If you are looking for something different to do, there are many roles that are being filled with people that have been serving in those roles for 5, 10 and 15 years that are more than willing to hand over the work to someone new. There are many new faces that are stepping up to these roles and we are excited about the changes that will bring to our body.

Discipleship:
Groups have been functioning for about two years as North Lex, South Lex, and Nicholasville geographic locations. Join a group if you haven't already!
Paul Barth brought up the opportunity of supporting a couple of Navigators that were significant contributors to Tracy's discipleship. Please be praying about what we need to do in regard to support for Justin and Erica Zauflick.
Building and Grounds:
After much prayer for a small community church that we could assist by providing a meeting location, it appears that the Lord has Reverend Williams to us with a local body of about thirty people. The costs associated with the building have dropped significantly now that there is no longer a school and coffee shop, so we need to continue to listen for God's will about the next step that we take. Mike has stated that he would like to keep Friday and Saturday nights free for various spontaneous and planned Tatesbrook fellowships.
There was discussion about improvements that could be made in the next year including a community garden. This is a great idea but would require a significant investment by both the community and the church so it is not something to enter lightly. The best location would be to build up a garden behind the church. We would need to repair the faucet and build the garden this fall if we want to have the community involved in the spring.
Evangelism:
After a great summer of evangelism from all the folks that headed to camps and countries near and far, we are now privileged to pray for Mikey and Cindy as they minister in Slovakia. In just a few months, we can also begin praying for a third missionary in Africa that will attract a swarm of people from Lexington next Spring.
Canvassing the neighborhood with Gary Wilson is something that we have been praying for. Although the original plan has not occurred, we are thankful for the body of thirty people that has canvassed the neighborhood and pray for their growth as well. Gary Wilson and his friend hope to come in the Spring now.
