Holland Bread Team Minutes 8-22-2012

Next meeting.  We will hold our next meeting at 12:30 on Wednesday, September 5, tentatively at Fourth Reformed.

Present:  Al, Fonda, June, Kris, Lou, Mary Ann, Ron, Stephanie, Mary D., and Mary J.

Prayer: Psalm 146: 8 – 21

Also, a prayer for faith from a Maryknoll prayer card:

Faith can move mountains,
Faith can change lives,
Faith can heal suffering,
Faith can open our eyes.
Give us the faith, Lord,
to trust in your ways.
Walk beside us and guide us
for all of our days.  Amen

Next meeting: August 22 at 12:30 Note this is earlier than usual, since we need to make sure we are prepared for the Beckmann event. (I’m still checking to make sure Fourth Reformed can host us.)

Present: Al, Dave, June, Kris, Lou, Mary-Ann, Mary J., Mary D., and Stephanie

Mary J. led the meeting and took notes.

Prayer: Mark 6:30-34, Litany to the Holy Name (The Fire of Peace, p. 179)

Political-candidate survey Dave has put together a rough draft of a survey and gave it to Stephanie to pick up the project from there.
