Covid Task Force will continue to have weekly meetings for now.

Discussion
Wayside Pulpit – posters created by committees/groups will be posted for 2 months. October/November – SAC. December/January – Connections Committee.
Other groups to ask for poster ideas – Worship, Learning Journey, Spiritual Autobiography, Youth & Family. Some may want to collaborate on a poster.
Yearly Calendar – Needs updating. Program Council to review & add to it at least every other month. It is not for the general Fellowship. Only a few people have access for editing. Useful? It is to let others know what each committee is doing.
Building Committee – need to recruit a new Chair; possibly more of a coordinator of projects and work days rather than someone with specific “contractor” skills.
All Ages Activities – Martha reported that 4-5 activities through the church year are feasible. Maeve suggested some new ideas and some repeats of popular activities from last year. Simplify by having people use their own supplies. Need someone to do the slide show. Ask Connections Committee to take the lead, help publicize and send directions for the activity.
Action Items
All – Liaisons to set up meetings with their clusters and five report at PC meetings.
October meeting – Rob to report on Governance cluster; Alex on Operations
