Stories of things that are lost
Easter Morning with Mary

Session Minute Summary: February 2022

February 21, 2022

The Grace Session met on February 21, 2022, in the Grace Alcove.
The meeting was opened and closed with prayer.
Session members were given binders with Grace policies and procedures.
Covid protocols were discussed. The mask policy for staff was changed to match the policy for non-staff: Fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks, everyone else does. Masks are strongly encouraged for all. In addition, the Session approved a change in communion protocol at the 9 am service. Pods are still available, but there will be rolls and bread on the tables for intinction.
The Session received Jennifer Snook’s resignation and approved a ‘tapering down’ of her work to five hours a week through the end of the Sunday School season in the spring.
Catherine revisited the idea of a staffing study and proposed that we hire a church consultant to help us. This was approved, and she will bring proposals to the next meeting.
Financial reports were given and received. Other reports were in the session packet.
Elyse Scholl reported on the February meeting of the Presbytery of Southern Kansas. She noted with praise the work offered by Scott Randle as the moderator of the presbytery.
A ‘Get to Know Grace Class’ is planned for Feb 27. Several Session members volunteered to attend.
