There was a very full agenda and amongst other things Council dealt with the following issues:
- Council is seeking someone with Powerpoint preparation skills to help Sonya prepare the Sunday slide show from time to time.
- The Council supported the Tech team in its project to develop Zoom technology so we can welcome to worship any parishioners who cannot be in church in person.
