Important items of information:

· Worship & Music Ministry Team 2008 budget – The budget decisions centered on matching dollars to our team’s 2008 goals. We compared the 2007 proposed budget to 2007 actual to guide us in the decision making process. Total Worship Ministry proposed budget for 2008 is $70,000. Kathy will complete the budget and send it to Jean Monson.

· Budget – Checking on specifics for budget items: Does the $200 for the Microphones for ambient sounds include cable and installation? What are the microphone headset needs for the North Site?

· 2008 Worship & Music Ministry Team goals – Review structure of TV Ministry and examine needs for a new altar lift at the North Site.

· Parament recommendations – Carrie Aaseby and Millie are meeting with Potente on October 23 regarding parament recommendations at the Downtown Site.

· Worship space enhancements at the North Site – Pastor Dave suggested letting the Sunday School Children explore ideas for the wood panels, possibly using nontraditional visual elements. Also include the Gathering Area as another project or part of the same one. Pastor Lyle with follow up with the Sunday School instructors.

· Worship service protocols – The Pastors are reviewing protocols and will share with the team before next month’s meeting. The goal is to know why and to be able to differentiate the six different styles of worship we have at both sites. Pastor Dismer explained that when we felt comfortable knowing the “why” then sharing the concept with the congregation could be easier.

· Action items for team members – Kathy will send worship service protocols to all team members; please review before next month’s meeting. Prioritize the Worship Ministry Team’s 2008 goals.
