November Team Meeting Notes


-  Freedom Ministry Events - we have been invited to two events at Freedom Ministry.  On November 21 the community Thanksgiving will take place at 12 pm at Freedom Ministry along with the YMCA and Salvation Army.  On Dec 4th there is a Faith Musical event at 7 pm.  These invitations will be posted in the church bulletin.

-  Run, Walk and Cheer - Don will present the checks this Sunday at 10:30 for the event fundraiser.  Freedom Ministry will receive a check for $12000.  This is to be made out to PEOPLE ON THE RISE as part of our 4th Sunday initiative.  Don expressed the hope that this 4th Sunday we could engage a new crop of workers to expand our reach into the congregation.  All agreed.  The gift will provide a budget for 2016 12 Saturdays at $800 each, which is the budget for each week.

-  Prayer Warrior Team - we discussed the progress of the Prayer Warrior team of Rich and Humberto.  This seems to be going quite well but language is a barrier for further expansion.  The idea of offering this prayer support to the other Saturdays of the month is considered.  Further, Carlos has asked if he can serve on this team.  He would be greatly welcomed.  This idea will be further developed for possible implementation.

-  Coat Drive - Freedom Ministry was selected to be one of the recipients of the recent coat drive at LCPC.   Our portion is 120 coats and they will be delivered on Nov 14th during the food bank.  A plan is under development for dispersing the coats.   Beth and Ward Schneiderman will deliver the coats and thanked for the gift.

-  Financials - LeSheita Thomas will update our financial situation under separate cover.  These financial statements will be provided quarterly throughout 2016.

-  Social Media - we need to fill the gap created for a social medial team member.  Do any of our current team mates want to take this job on.  We do have a blog site and individuals are directed there for more comprehensive information http://lccmensministry.blogspot.com/
