CCC Book Cart Gets a Makeover

Book Cart – Leave a Book; Take a Book: The CCC book cart is being made-over into a community sharing library. We will use this as a place where people can share church-related books. You may bring a book and then take one of the books on the cart – just remember to bring it back when you are done. Please keep this to church-related material only! Questions? Contact Stacey in the church office (619-447-2675; office@communitycovenantchurch.org).

Transition Team Meeting Minutes - 1-18-10

As the transition team meets to guide us through these next few months, they want to keep the congregation informed as much as possible as to what they are doing. They will be sharing the meeting minutes with us after each meeting. Below are the minutes from their first meeting.

Transition Team Meeting Minutes 1/18/10

In Attendance: Noel Becchetti, Aaron Lawson, Marc Bellaart, Mel Nelson, Stanna McDougal, Dominique Hale, Andrew Schlegel, CholeAnne Dilgard, Lundie Carstensen, Ken Campbell

I. Lundie served as facilitator and shared:

· The transition team was brought together from different areas of the church and is composed of individuals who have been with the church for different periods of time.

· Constitution: seldom changed, tied to denomination, "Here's who we are"

· Bylaws: more often changed, deals more with process, "Here's how we do things"
bylaw changes will be made after this process

· Pastoral Search Committee: Transition team will have recommendations for this team, but will not be comprised of this team
