November 5 2011
Attendees: Chester, David, Janet S, Janet I, Kendrick, Michelle, Brenda
Focus: Review and planning
- We need leadership:
* Rudder system covers only logistics.
* Vision / direction lacking.
- Bible study.
* QC within bible study leaders to free up QC role.
* More frequency for Chilam (a gifted and improving bible study leader).
* Random split (as opposed to marital status) as needed.
- Leverage softcopy of church bulletin for announcements
* Janet S to ask Joanna to include her on Wednesday's email.
- Direction: Possible restructure of 2 cellgroups (Ark and Elijah) into 3:
* Janet S to follow up with Elijah for initial chat and set date(s) for joint cell program to try chemistry.
* Chester and Kendrick to update cellgroup and drive Nov 11 pray bond chat meeting
- Think about caring as a group for Angela
Next meeting: Jan 2012
August 2 2011
Attendees: Janet S, Janet I, Kendrick, Michelle, Brenda
Focus: Help share work load on Michelle; encourage participation; aim to multiply
Actions:
- JK set up roster to rotate responsibilities and update program schedule page
- Michelle forward all church communications as they arrive to Janet S to compile.
- Sunday nights (or earlier): a rudder send reminder email to all program helpers.
- Tuesday nights: Janet S send compiled announcements to program leader.
- Wednesdays: Program leader send "This-Friday" email along with announcements.
-> Should there be no assigned program leader, Janet S is the default program leader to send "This-Friday" email along with announcements.
- Friday: the rudder is the facilitator for that night (get program to start, start by praying, etc)
- Friday/weekends: the rudder send followup caring email to those who couldn't make it to cellgroup
Changes:
- Small group program uses yellow Spiritual Formation book
- Revised program formats
Still to think about:
- All rudders to brainstorm light, team building activities:
Ideas: community service, heaven scent, group projects on something.., bible characters, current affairs, Lectio Divina, parables, cooking contest, games night, bible losers, movie+discussion
- All rudders to invite more people to this rudder group, 4 from each to-be-multiplied group
Next meeting: Oct 10th 7:30pm

Ark Planning
(1) 2007 focus: bonding and spiritual growth
(2) DBS/EBS:
- bible study leaders to follow up on action items from last study
- pros and cons of mixing groups: loss of continuity & stable group, vs different chemistry & pre-believers feel less pressure
- we will try 100% EBS for one quarter (after we finish Romans).
(3) Small groups, for better bonding
- 3-4 people per group, voluntary
- prefer face-to-face meeting in the beginning for teambuilding, can change to skype later if needed
- expect to meet once every 2-3 weeks
- every group to follow same material (book or scripture)
- sign up with me by replying to this email, indicating your available days of the week. i will assign groups by end of January.
(4) Group projects:
- community service
- big group activities e.g. outing, cooking
- retreat: suggested 4/28 weekend (bm note: in conflict with omf conference ah!! can we change this?)
- visit murray (deciding date w/ him now)
- song dedication (most likely in summer, when choir is off)
(5) Friday meetings
- prepare snacks and instant noodles for those who are too late for dinner (treasurer: take note)
- dinner will end at 8pm sharp, allow 5-10 min for cleanup.
- add 10-15 min sharing time to regular program
(6) theme song - had 3 suggestions. will sing each one every 2 months.
(7) tentative 1H2007 schedule planned accordingly. visit http://funark.job.com later for details.
