Dwight expressed concern that we need to emphasize to anyone whom we know is coming, that they submit the form which has been printed in the newsletter. It was also suggested that if there are any speakers, which we know of whom we would like to suggest for these preaching/worship services, we need to submit these suggestions to Dwight. The meeting was closed with prayer.
