From the Board

At the December board meeting, the People’s Church board celebrated the success of the Holiday Bazaar, and was glad to see the commitment of the congregation to purchase our solar panels from Helios Solar.  The decision made financial sense, and was in accord with UU values.  After reviewing the congregational meeting that led to the solar-panel vote, we revisited our voting policy and approved some small modifications to better align policy with current practice.  We examined the details of the church budget, and found that income and expenses looked as expected for this time of year.  We continued our discussion of how to save funds for necessary maintenance expenses to keep the church building in good repair.  We also reflected upon the policy for making position statements as a church in support social justice issues. No changes were proposed. The board acknowledged the many ways church members currently support social justice in the community.
