Important items of information:

• Discussed North Site worship music leader position and reviewed the position description that had been pulled together by Phil Barnett and Pastor Lyle before Phil's departure. After some discussion and clarification, the team approved the description.
• Began creating a search task force for North Site worship music leader. Jeff Picken and Pastor Lyle volunteered. Discussed and agreed that a cross-section of current music team members must be involved, including a high school member of the music team(s). Dave will follow up with suggested people.
• Discussed and agreed to spending $1,000 to commission Lee Tomboulian to write a new jazz liturgy for the 9:15 a.m. Downtown Site.
• Discussed establishing a memorial list so that those wishing to make a memorial gift will have a place to turn. Pastor Lyle will work with Pastors Detweiler and Dismer to create an initial list that will then be forwarded to the WMT.
• Discussion of 9:15 a.m. music leadership by congregational members and the Seraphim Choir. The idea is to find ways to engage more volunteers and work as a team to provide musical guidance and leadership.
• Tabled discussion of worship protocols with homework for team to list their perceptions of the current services.
