Call to Order Ms. Carol Cole called the
meeting to order at
Devotions The Reverend Mr. Gregory A.
Ellcey was asked to offer the Morning Devotion. Opening with prayer, the Reverend Mr. Ellcey asked God’s guidance as we worked as His
servants. Reading Scripture from St.
Luke, the 17th chapter, having faith as a grain of mustard seed, he recalled
that when he was young, he and friends would study the wanted posters at the
Post Office and dream of collecting the rewards offered. Our culture is based on rewards. In the Amish tradition work is a joy and they
honor God and make no claims on God. If
we are His followers, then we must be servants to our Master and should not
expect thanks from God for doing His ministry.
Our duty is to worship and honor God.
We are given gifts and talents to carry on His work. As we receive God’s love, we must return His
love without expecting rewards – “Love so amazing, my life, my all.” The Reverend Mr. Ellcey
closed with a prayer asking guidance for the leadership of our National
Association and remembering the sorrow of September 11th, asking mercy for
those whose lives were lost and comfort for those who mourn.
Executive The Reverend Dr. Thomas M.
Richard offered his report stating that on
Secretary’s Report September 11th, the office met in prayer
and via E-mail and on our Web page, and in regular mail, sent prayerful words
of comfort and inspiration. He stated
that due to the tragedy on September 11th, the retreat he and Dr. Olsen and the
Reverend Mr. Jackson had planned, was postponed. Dr. Richard called attention to a new display
showing programs available from our NA for individuals and churches; it will be
taken to the churches our Executive Secretaries visit. Dr. Richard reported on a workshop he had
attended in Washington, D.C., “Faith in Action,” where he learned of grants
available to churches which offer primary care.
He also remarked on the new long distance phone system in the office, in
which a portion of the funds go back to the NA when used by our churches. The new format of the NA News was favorably
commented on. In the future the
Executive Secretary is considering have the Bible Lecture and the
Congregational Lecture underwritten by churches and/or individuals. This will be pursued.
Thanks to Dr. Sincere appreciation was
expressed to Dr. Richard for his continued fine
Richard work on our behalf.

all Divisions; the Annual Meeting Financial Results; THE CONGREGATIONALIST
revenues and expenses; the Investment Portfolio update. Mr. Walsh stated that thus far this year we
are exceeding the budgeted amount and that it is imperative that we take steps

Following a brief break, with all
the previously noted members in attendance,

Financial Services Committee send a letter to the Commission, the Committees,
and the Divisions, requesting that they take action to reduce their budgeted
amounts.

To recommend that the Financial Services Committee, the In-

Historian’s Report The next to
report was the Historian, the Reverend Dr. Lloyd M. Hall, Jr., who stated that
we have acquired relevant books from the libraries of the Reverend Dr. Thomas
Richard and the Reverend Dr. Philip Muth. An
arrangement has been worked out
with the Oak Creek staff to keep our
Necrology up to date. This will still require some effort to have a
complete record.
The writing of a history of our
Association continues as a work in progress by the Reverend Dr. Steven A. Peay; this should be completed by our 50th
anniversary. Archival space in Oak Creek
is barely adequate and a study needs to be made on a long-term plan for our
records.
Dr. Hall also stated concern
about our Library and that in his opinion the dissolution of the Library Board was
probably imprudent as this was virtually a no-cost service and gave us a
framework for library policy and operation.
During the report of the
Historian, the Reverend Mr. Jackson left the meeting.
