Starting in the first week of September, the Parish will be asked to make nominations for the Parish Pastoral Council. Two seats on the PPC will be open and elections will be held for replacement of termed out PPC members. Walter Leachman mentioned there were two parishioners that expressed interest on their Time and Talent forms.
ACTS
Fr. Dan reported that Mary Queen is working with the National ACTS group from San Antonio preparation for a retreat in the late winter/ early spring of next year. Mary Queen will be doing team preparation via Skype in the ELC library to help train individuals participating in the retreat. The cost for the retreat is not clear at this point pending destination; however there will be a collection at the church for those wanting to make the weeked but are unable to cover the cost.
