Well, we were supposed to have a potluck and our annual financial planning meeting after service today, but the Winter that Wouldn't Die had other plans. Many of us stayed home, and the brave souls who ventured out seemed to forget about business, although we did have a good potluck (so at least we have our priorities straight). Rev. Mike was also kept home by the weather, but Kath Connor was able to read a message from him in his absence, and several members shared thoughts about what the Fellowship means to us and the value it has in our lives. We'll just have to work on adding dollar amounts later.
