We will have representatives at a government hearing on the Harris Teeter building as it is going to be high and block the view of our church some; also, H T asked about letting employees park in our lots. We were reminded of the generosity of the owners of the land in letting us park there for years without formal agreements making it hard for us to object to anything. Several community groups are objecting.
A recent incident when a policeman encouraged bikers to leave our parking lot was mentioned as an example of that continuing issue.
Application will be made to Lilly Company for $50,000 grant for our minister to study theology and music in Europe with concentration on Chopin. MPUMC would receive $15,000. The application is for 2013 (may-June) when James' children will be out of High School. Whereas the Lilly Company hopes the minister will remain at the sponsoring church a year after; it was noted the Methodist Church policy on moving ministers cannot assure that.
The financial condition was discussed with a couple of million dollars in the Bank and pledges up, collections up, and expenses down.

A quick heads up that the Administrative Board meets tonight at 7 p.m., it’s been in the Sunday bulletins and on the web site, inviting all members to come and listen and ask questions, I know you are interested in this aspect of church life, so I thought I’d give you a personal heads up….Ken
