CONGREGATIONAL FELLOWSHIP

     Last Sunday evening the Transition Leadership Team hosted a congregational/corporate meeting to communicate the things the TLT is doing.  For those who were not able to attend, I will attempt to highlight the meeting.

     Mike Moshier reported on the Belize Medical Mission trip using a variety of Powerpoint slides and narrating the events of the trip.  Many of the slides used in the presentation are available for viewing at the church website www.ffchurchofchrist.org. Following the Belize report, a meeting of the corporation known as the Church of Christ in Fairfield was convened to elect officers for the corporation as mandated by the State of California.  The following officers were elected: President, Bob Johnson; Treasurer, John Reed; Secretary, Mike Moshier. 

     Following a time of fellowship in which finger foods were served, the congregational meeting continued with Dwight Perry and John Reed reporting on the activities of the TLT.  Dwight reported on the educational ministry of the church and its organization.  An educational organization and flow chart will be posted in the foyer to illustrate how the educational ministry of the church operates.  A report was given on the reorganization of the ministries of the church on which the TLT is currently working.  The reorganization and oversight of these ministries by the TLT will be communicated within the next few weeks.

     John Reed reported on the 2010-2011 operating budget that has been adopted by the TLT.  Copies of the budget were distributed to those in attendance.  John reported on the campus upgrades that have been completed and are in the process of being completed.  Repair and resurfacing of the parking lot, painting of the entire building, and replacement of the preschool roof have been completed and paid for within the 2009-2010 budget. 

     The congregation has been divided into four shepherding groups of which each TLT member has been assigned one group.  The groups are listed on the bulletin board in the foyer.  Each TLT member will be responsible for communicating with, and insuring that no one will just drift away.  We are hopeful that this will improve the involvement of everyone in the congregation.

     Tony Wade was introduced as the new coordinator for youth activities.  Tony will be working with the parents of the youth to improve communication and help to coordinate the events involving the young people of our congregation. 

     Our goal is to have a congregational meeting every two months to disseminate information that will keep everyone in the loop.
