NOTES FROM MAY SESSION MEETING

  • Election of elders:  Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations for new elders.  There was a tremendous response and several very capable people were nominated.  We are in the process of contacting the nominees to ask them to stand for election.  Please pray that God will provide direction to the people He wants to call to serve Him as elders in this congregation.
  • Barbecue June 27:  Our annual congregational barbecue will be held after the service on Sunday June 27.
  • Summer Services:  Our Sunday worship services will begin at 10 am starting Sunday July 4 until Sunday September 5.
  • Library:  We have a wonderful library with excellent resources for adults, teens and children.  At the moment the library is being underutilized.  We need someone who would be willing to promote the library and look after signing books/DVD’s in and out.  Please speak to Stacey if you are able to help.
  • Concerts at Central:  Both the KW Symphony and the Grand Philharmonic Choir have booked dates to continue their concert series at Central through 2010-11.

Property Committee Update

East Chimney Rebuild

During the first stage of our roof restoration last summer it became apparent that the large chimney that vents our boiler (on the east side of the sanctuary) needed to be rebuilt. The top ten courses of stone had become loose from their mortar and represented a significant hazard. After obtaining a detailed tender document from Mr. Paul Everett three firms were selected to bid with the contract being awarded to Roof Tile Management from Mississauga.

Total cost to rebuild the top ten courses of stone and repoint the remaining layers to the roof line is $45,400.

Applications were made to the City of Cambridge Heritage Grant Programme and the Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation asking for assistance with this project. The committee is delighted to convey that both applications have been received favourably; Central will receive a total grant of $25,000. ($5,000 from the City and $20,000 from the Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation). The consequent net cost to the church will be $21,000 which will be drawn from the reserve account.

Respectfully Submitted on behalf of the Board of Managers
