Saturday Service – TED
- Saturdays alternating Open Topic with a subject homily works well. European participants, a few regulars. Good discussions and company, worth doing. Possible co-leader?
Continuing business
- Sermon Library starting, a few years available just outside the Library, kind of hidden for now (look just to the west of the building, along a small hill)
New Business
- What is the future of FUUCSL?
- Generate a google doc, collaboratively fill it out.
- Framework for discussion?
- Deficit, need for pledges
- How to get more attendees and members?
- Do we have a critical mass of attendees at the service?
- What would it take to maintain FUUCSL and UUtopia in the future?
- How can we make sure we’re relevant?
Next meeting: February 27 the floating circle over the lake.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:57 pm SLT.
