HUCC's Council is no longer a boring body that just listens to reports and makes rubber-stamp decisions. It is a body that seeks to discern God's will for our church, and to help guide the church toward the fulfilling of God's will for us. It only works if there is broad representation from all the boards, committees, and groups in the church. Otherwise, important perspectives are missed, and those groups miss out on the cross-fertilization from the Council. Even if your group does not regularly make decisions that need Council approval, we encourage you to be represented for the sake of the body of the church and for the benefit of your group. At your next meeting, would you designate a representative (or select several to share that position), so that we can move forward as one body?
For the last meeting of the "Living in Harmony" group, we collected information on ways to "lessen our environmental footprint" by recycling, reusing and repairing what we buy. Here's the list of information we hope you might put to use.
