Communications Task Force
Members: Muffy Beato, Rev. Nancy J. Farrell, Terry Goodwin, Rena Haigh, Lynn Malboeuf, Amie McMullin
In 2015, the Communications Task Force deliberated over the changing nature of current culture and society
and the ways involvement in the church is impacted. We sought to identify ways to build and encourage
opportunities for members of the congregation to participate in the church’s work. The notion that Session
and its component teams are tasked with welcoming participation by the congregation guided our efforts.
The “brand” document developed through our work with the Ad Council continues to provide a guide to our
work. We established a format for presenting “projects” that had clearly defined scope and allowed
members who are unable to accept a long-term commitment to participate. In 2015, we identified a
number of projects (logo development, audio/sound project, name tags, rear entrance rehab) that were
posted on the bulletin board outside the church office. The name tag project has been implemented.
Currently teams are working on logo development and audio/sound.
Additionally, in response to requests from a number of members, a binder was created to house
team/committee minutes as well as Session minutes. The binder is located on the credenza outside the
church office.
Respectfully Submitted,
Lynn Malboeuf
