Pastor's Report

Denn reported on his various activities since our last meeting.

A number of new families who have started attending both sites were mentioned.

Reports were presented from Pastor Stefan, Pastor Rob, and Pastor Marilyn.

Meeting Highlights

International Conference of Wesleyan Church Denn has been asked to serve as one of two Canadian delegates to the ICWC in January 2025. He will be away for 7 days and all expenses will be covered by the National Church.

Care Campaign Denn reported that he has been investigating costs for painting, interior and exterior as well as lighting upgrades for Gatehouse, but does not have firm figures yet. If we go ahead with the roof at Gatehouse we will need to decide if we simply do the necessary repairs, or replace the roof, and whether it will be asphalt or metal. This may require a capital campaign, ie “Raise the Roof”. Denn will investigate further and bring a report to the next meeting.

Reserve Fund It was noted that Glenda discovered a reserve fund that Mike Kneebone had set up early in the Village Partnership with funds from the general account, in case they were needed for the partnership. Since they haven’t been required the funds will be transferred back to the general account.

Next Meeting:

Our next meeting will be on Feb. 1st.
