Agenda:      1.
Review project criteria, prioritize
              
2.
Form two task forces:
               one: focus on needs, social concerns; look at possibilities, present proposal
               two: focus on resources, consider the parsonage, sell or rehab and use for??
    
The discussion of the criteria suggested that
definitions might need sharpening. No consensus was reached on priorities; all seemed to be valuable, a few essential.

In the conversation the following ideas, among others, surfaced:
    
°
hold a fund raiser to repair/maintain the parsonage
     °
solidify our mission to spread the gospel in Kenwood
    
°
consider how to minister to the neediest in our community
    
°
let's continue the social outreach efforts we are presently doing and add a major thrust, e.g. the "Habitat" project of 2005

Volunteers for the "USCS" task force: Mary Sabatke, Lance Breiland, Steve Maurelli, John Hanson

Volunteers for the "Resources" task force: Susanne Haas, John Bergford, Denise Wilkens, Ross Bartels

There were hopes that many in the congregation would offer their ideas and support via e-mail, telephone calls to the church office or to any member of the council or these task forces.
