Elders meet on the second Thursday of each month to conduct church business, and that’s a lot.  Current church membership is reported.  Attendance at the Sunday Morning Worship service is reported.  Information about upcoming meetings or events to be held in the church is announced.  A representative (or two, if needed) to the Presbytery meeting is appointed.  The church calendar of events is approved.  Approval for any church sponsored activity (i.e., Halloween Party or non-church activity [i.e., Rumsey Island Homeowners' Association meeting]) is considered.  Work of the deacons and the trustees is reviewed.  Baptisms, membership transfers and weddings must be approved.  Monthly financial reports are distributed and reviewed.  Special committees are appointed as needed and their reports are given serious consideration.  Most recently, the Vision Committee’s report generated a lot of excitement as plans were discussed to implement the committee’s findings and recommendations.
