pcol_logoDuring the Annual Meeting of the congregation on January 26th, 2014, a very fruitful discussion took place about the short-term financial challenges the congregation faces, as well as the long-term planning process that is about to begin. The Session has produced some materials that will be helpful to congregants to understand…where we are, and where we’re going,  as we meet the challenges of today and dream toward the future, just as those in previous centuries did before us.

Please find here several resources that we would like each member and friend of PCOL to read. We also invite you to comment – using the blog feature below – as a way to discuss these issues “real time.” Staff and Session members will be monitoring the page, and responding.

These materials will also go to the congregation in the form of a mailing, the week of February 3.These are some other helpful materials that were used in the January 26 Annual Meeting:

Jeff Pomeroy’s presentation about the 2014 budget
Graham Cole’s presentation about the strategic planning process
