Agendas and Minutes

(Note: Minutes are intended to be a more detailed record of the meeting, while reports are usually summaries of the key points of discussion. In recent times, the distinction has been blurred, since agendas have not been published, and meetings have been more informal with less structure. The future records are left to the discretion of elders, rather than wiki editors.)

Current Year: 2012

1. The EldersGroup page lists the Elders as in the church rolls database. It is this page that defines access to pages designed to be accessible to Elders, so check here if you have access problems.

Note that these pages are protected, so that only elders can alter them. The first page can be read by users who are logged in (basically any church member), while the second page cannot be read by anyone other than an elder. This is done for privacy reasons.
