I'm In

Hi Folks --

I'm in now and I am copying the Proposed Agenda from our cancelled December Meeting to this post. I haven't found at 'attach' option so I'll assume documents are to be copied into the body of a posting.

Two matters I feel are pressing:
1) Approving the Comments Section of the compiled December Presbytery Meeting Questionnaire so we can pass this onto Rex, et al. in time for the 8 January Council Meeting.
2) Approving the questions for the Presbytery Meeting Questionnaire to be used at 26 January Presbytery Meeting.

Question:
Did the materials distributed at the December Presbytery Meeting include the compilation of the Questionnaire Comments from the September Presbytery Meeting?

Proposed Agenda
5:00 Opening Devotion – John McClester

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.
