NEW BUSINESS:

Airport High School students would like to park in our lot.  Billy will check into Insurance and if all is well, we will charge $50 per decal for the entire school year. Forms will be drawn up for the students and parents to sign.  The monies will go into the Youth Fund. Signs will be posted that the students are parking at their own risk.  A motion was drawn to have Billy Bland check into the liability of us allowing the students to park in our lot. Check with principal and make sure it is ok.  He will then have the permission of the Guidance Team to issue decals and collect monies. The motion carried.

 

The church will give a Bible to the New Hope Boys that are leaving the home.  The motion carried.

 

Beth Zboran requested to use the church fellowship hall on the third Tuesday of each month for the Red SHIELD home school group. The use was approved.

 

The Banners in the Sanctuary look great.
