Bishop Andy Taylor and Director of Synod Council, Tom Goellrich provided the council with a handout written by Neal Harrison in regards to the policy of relocation of Ministry. They said that this is a difficult time for several churches and that they are here to help us think through what we want to do.
We will be working on a written plan on what we are going to be looking at for the future of St. Mark’s. We will need to create a new mission for our relocated church and how it will be different than what we currently have. This will start to be worked on by the council members and Diane Nissen on Saturday July 15th, 2017 from 9:00 am to 10:30 am. We will have a summary outline for the September 3rd meeting.
