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.
