Oct 21, 2021 BOT Meeting Summary

The October 21st UCE Board meeting focused on the following. 

There was considerable discussion of the first chapters of Unlocking the Power of Covenant, which the BoT is reading and recommends to interested UCE members.  We considered such questions as the connections between theology and Widening the Circe of Concern, how social justice relates to our goals, and the importance of taking a fresh look at the UCE Covenant of Engagement and Ends Statements. 

The Treasurer reported that we are still tracking closely to budget. 

The ISC will support a Board Task Force to look carefully at next year’s budget, considering particularly the implications regarding the fact that the $72,000 federal PPP grant will not be repeated and we have lost of an important member due to age related life changes.  This will help the Board and the membership consider how to maintain and even hopefully expand our programs. 

The next Trustees meeting will be on Thursday, November 18 at 7 PM via Zoom.  All are welcome.
