Church and Society 

In 2007 the Church and Society Committee raised consciousness in the congregation and promoted social justice in the community through the following endeavors: 

• Encouraged the use of the Social Creed in worship; 

• Highlighted topics from the Social Principles in the monthly Footprints; 

• Developed a referral list for people in need (many thanks to Sandy Lyon and Steph Sundholm); 

• Heard reports from the chairpersons of Evangelism and Mission Committees so that we would not duplicate their efforts; 

• Continued to update the Church and Society bulletin board in the narthex (many thanks to Jeanne and Don Worm); 

• Began providing a Sunday morning display of social justice related magazines and books for people to check out; 

• Worked with the Bryant Road Building Committee to ensure that our new church would use environmentally friendly building materials and techniques; 

• Helped to promote the CROP Walk; 

• Collaborated with Missions Committee on development of notecards, the sale of which would benefit the Front Porch Orphans of Zambezi’s further education; 

• Began to learn about the Household Economics Covenant.
