Items discussed:
Review of Thanksgiving
Positive comments about the ecumenical service and morning liturgy
Review of the Roman Missal Implementation
The first weeks using the new prayers have gone well. The Order of Worship provided for the assembly has proved to be very helpful with all of the prayers and responses in one place. Comments from people who have attended liturgies at other parishes have been that this aid for the assembly is better than the pre-printed cards.
Advent
It was good to have kept things simple for the season, with the changes in the Missal. The words to the gathering song on the banner was beneficial.
Christmas
Click for Attendance numbers. The total number is relatively the same, although some Mass times did see a significant change. We need to keep in mind that Christmas was on a Sunday, so the pattern for people may have been different this particular year. All of the celebrations were done well.
Stewardship Weekend - January 14/15
We modified the wording of asking people for a time preference. The "witness talks" this year will be done by the staff member responsible for each of the four areas, highlighting the needs and the definition of ministry.
Parish Mission
Fr. Jim Sichko will be the presenter for our Eastside parish mission, beginning the weekend of January 21/22. He will preach at all the liturgies and then have the talks in the evenings at St. Michael and mornings at Resurrection.
