Vote Results, Unity Exercises and Council Report

Good evening Sisters! Just a few things to fill you in about.

VOTE RESULTS

The sisterhood membership has spoken: Although half of those who voted wanted to have a "Pre-Mothers' Day Banquet" no one was for paying for it 'out-of-pocket' or charging for tickets to help defray the expense. So there will be no banquet this year.  For future voting, I'd like to suggest volunteers for collecting phone call votes from those without Internet/smartphone access. Suggestions for a Mother's Day Banquet for next year are welcome.

The next program we are to prepare for is the Graduates and Retirees Breakfast. Let's have volunteer spear headers by May 3.

UNITY EXERCISES

Whenever there is time at our meetings, we will have these exercises which are fun, insightful and will make us more cognizant of our spiritual 'connectiveness' as sisters in Christ--thus better prepared to be in His walk in unity. The first exercises will be either 'Listening' and I'd like those who have attended BTU to assist with that.

COUNCIL MEETING

• The Family Life Center and the Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church Complex. No longer will there be the separate entity of the Family Life Center and the Education Center for events. Instead they will fall under the Mount Pilgrim Complex. The prices for rental have changed for both members and non members as well as some policy for use. I will not print those nor the entire price listing here, but I will have the information to share at the next Sisterhood meeting. Of course, they are always available through the FLC office and Sister Miller. We are all supposed to support the center by using it ourselves and encouraging others to use it for weddings, parties and other family events. Applications should be on line soon.  Sister Miller mentioned that although she is interim  director of the FLC she still holds the duties of Pastor's admin assistant ans she appreciates the help of volunteers at the front desk headed by Sister Carolyn Williams.
• Church Membership: We took a look at  the number of Baptisms over the months and per year with Evangelistic Campaign coming up. Pastor wanted our goal to be to  increase the number and be prepared to Baptize 30 people in the Baptismal font in the FLC.

Invitations Attached are  the cards we discussed at last meeting for those who'd like to print their own.I will have more printed for the next meeting.  If you can print them on card stock or business card paper be sure to put your name on the back. . When someone you've recruited shows at meetings with your name on a card--well, we're going to try to see who does the best with recruiting and have some door prizes available---even if I have to do that for you myself!

Contact Information Sheet  Still need those updates!

Remember that the children are off for Spring break and that Sister Peggy Wallace asked for volunteers to help chaperon the kiddoes as they enjoy their time off in the FLC.
