Pastor Ron read the Director of Operations report. Brett Perkins is looking into the feasibility of a Charter School on Church premises. A school of 75 students could bring in annual revenue of approximately $75,000. Brett is checking to see what modifications might be required, and how much they could cost. Council discussed where the classroom space would be and how it would impact the Church. Council also discussed the fees paid by Glory Lutheran over the years and how the new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) may apply to fees and hours of operation.

A meeting is planned for Dec 16 at 9:00AM to discuss the Annual Meeting. A letter will be written to the congregation to stress the importance of this years Annual Meeting. Pastor Ron stated that envelope donations are not the way for any modern church to stay financially viable, and we have within our means the ability to seek alternative sources of revenue if the congregation agrees. At the Jan 13th meeting we will discuss the Annual Meeting further.
