Strategic Objective 7: Inspiring Anglican Worship Committee received very positive feedback from Synod participants re. activities around music in worship. Committee has not met since Synod. Strategic Plan Budget, 2012 Implementation Team worked with Jane Mesich to review projected 2012 budget for Strategic Plan costs. 2011 spending considerably below budget at this time, knowing some projected costs will be incurred. Each of the 3 committees have available budget of only $5,000 for travel this year. As initiatives form and projected costs increase, committees will have to become more involved and responsible for their budget setting activities. Looking forward toward 2014 and anticipated Congregational Development activities, Implementation Team is suggesting a clarifying statement re. tenure of Rev. Dr. Jay Koyle.
