2. What would you suggest for upcoming meetings? • No suggestion at this time. • Leader training – Change, Courage, Conflict, Collegiality, IT Training, Presbyterian Curriculums. • Bring/invite the youth from churches to attend Presbytery meeting with the hope of helping them to know the bigger church. Perhaps the youth could lead worship or music/sing/choir. • Return to receiving 2 Coins A Meal at the lunch. • We all had trouble coming up with joys of the world. Joy or laughter workshop. Guns to Garden Tools Blacksmithing Demo. • Different types of missions done in different towns, states, countries. • Please have actual bread for gluten free option for communion. Crackers were a disappointment. Also a gluten free desert would be nice. • Make sure slides, etc. are visible to audience. • Would have liked to have had more time to visit other mission tables. • Encourage speakers to limit their reports, possibly with encouragement from the moderator, to a certain number of minutes. • It would be helpful if the hosting church would provide their Wi-Fi password at the check-in table if they have one available. • Continue to work on having a specific theme around which the Presbytery meeting/call is organized. • Consent agenda set apart more clearly. Did we vote on staff twice? • On a Saturday.
