Attendees,
Kara B, Carole B, Steve M, David N, Keith P, Waunetta & Bob B
Opening
| Topic: Commitment Card Follow Up | |
| The first matter of discussion was how to affirm the commitment to Epworth. It was decided that letter would be sent out to all respondents with a copy of their commitment form. The question was raised concerning people do not respond to postcard? There was lengthy discussion. We decided to see what the response was to our follow up mailing. We also reviewed the form used this year and if we need to make any changes. Some minor revisions were suggested. It was noted that there was a high commitment for prayer. The question was how do we capitalize on this? See next item. | |
| Topic: Lent Emphasis - Prayer | |
| The group felt very strongly that we wanted to enlarge Stewardship to be a year round emphasis. We want to see the concept of Prayer, Presence, Gifts and Service to be an emphasis year round. David said he would like to see prayer be an emphasis during Lent. He suggested using Richard Foster’s Celebration of Discipline study as a possible choice. The material is available through the conference media center. He would like to see it offered at several different times to get maximum exposure. Lent begins Feb 6. Keith said he would check it out. David said he would be working on including it into the in the newsletter and message as well. There was discussion of possible group leaders and other options for material. | |
