SCC Minutes for Sunday, September 8, 1996

Treasurer's Report

Committee Reports

• Outreach hasn't met yet.
• Worship picked the theme of "renewal" for this fall's worship services. Their weekly meeting time hasn't yet been set.
• Education. SOUP starts this Monday. They will probably get professor Enright to come some Wednesday for a fireside chat.
• Social Ministry. Kelly needs help maintaining the garden this Wednesday. The Thursday lunches this semester will focus on faith and self-renewal. Other possible activities this semester include volunteering at the YWCA, fasting for Oxfam, a canned food drive, serving a meal at St. Mark's, a blood drive, and raising money to send a computer to Eastern Europe.
• Social Activities. The Welcome Banquet is September 18th; Krista has it under control. We decided to have a dance on Friday, October 18th, Homecoming weekend. Kelly brought up the idea of occasionally renting and discussing movies that bring up important issues. We'll do the first one on September 20th.
• Hospitality will lead us in the construction of the biggest banana split on campus on Wed. (September 11th) after worship. Their semester get-together will probably be on September 27th.
• Worship. Stephanie will make a sign-up sheet to arrange worship assistants in advance so the committee won't have to call and bother as many people.
• Fine Arts. So far, Terry has arranged art displays for the Campus Center through the winter. Even more arrangements are in progress.
• Directing Committee hasn't met yet. The other committee members (besides Kelly) are Scott White and Carrie Hohol.
• Staff. Brent reminds us that the phone and copier we have access to are for SCC business only, not for our personal use or for our friends' use.
  To help newcomers feel welcome, we need to fight our tendencies toward introversion; we should introduce ourselves and talk to newcomers, invite them to cost supper, and sit by them at worship and at meals. Don't let someone new escape without being welcomed.

New Business

We will put up a booth and give out information at the Student Organization Fair in Memorial Union on October 2nd. We only need a couple of people to spend two hours.
