With the addition of 7000 square feet of new space within the church building, the Session felt it necessary to name a Program Ideas Task group to define areas where program expansion could be created. Many ideas came forth and the congregation was polled using a blank sheet of paper in the bulletin. Many more ideas were introduced and a list of these was compiled and placed in the bulletin following the survey.

These ideas were separated into categories and distributed to all the committees and relevant persons for consideration and implementation. It was not practical to introduce too many ideas early on in the process, and although some ofthese ideas have already been offered, others will become available in a gradual process through the year.

It is always appropriate to suggest new ideas and programs, so we encourage all who would like to contribute to send a written note to the church office where it will be passed on to the appropriate person(s). Let us make good use ofthe beautiful new space.
