The Administrative Council met on Monday, January 14th at 7:00 pm. The Ad Council has been reading the book “Vital Signs: A Pathway to Congregational Wholeness” to aid in setting priorities and learn new directions in reaching people and cultivating vital spirituality. The chapter on “Vital Congregations” was discussed at the January meeting.
