Wesley Uniting Church Council
Report to Congregation for 10th July meeting
Call to Rev Daniel Mossfield
All paperwork has now been completed at Congregational, Presbytery and Synod levels thanks to careful work by Council Secretary David Benger and Treasurer Robert James. The Letter of Call has also been sent. Congregational prayers are now sought for opportunities to support as transitions and changes are embraced.
Property Committee
A review of maintenance needs at both the Sydney Avenue Manse and Cottage will be undertaken as soon as possible. Particular thanks go to Keith Hart for organisation and communication regarding Synod property standards and requirements.
CRISP (Community Refugee Support Program)
The Report given in Announcements at worship services on 6 July was received by Council. Now that the family’s travel documents are in order and flight interruptions in the Middle East are clearing it is hoped that travel dates will be known in the near future. The CRISP Committee has made preparations as far as possible without definite dates being known. Translated phone conversations have been helpful for communication between Jordan and Canberra.
Wesley Tennis Club
Cooperative teamwork by the club with coaches has resulted in Council being pleased to endorse a proposal that sight screens will be installed to reduce glare for players. This at no cost to the congregation.
It is envisaged these will also provide greater amenity for a special to program to be introduced for people who are blind or have low vision. Council also endorsed this initiative.
It is noted with gratitude that the Tennis Club has also been able to guide those seeking pickle ball bookings in the Lancaster Hall toward our Wesely Office staff and scheduling.
Jan Sismey (Co-opted Chair) for: Tarlie Alcock, David Benger, Liz Chan, Sonia Di Mezza, Rev. Geoff Dornan, Keith Hart, Robert James, Kathie Potts.
Apologies: Jenny Dean, John Sutton
