Potential speakers for the remaining five summer Sundays were selected. Kate Rae will be contacting them.

USHERS

Ambra Applegate told the Worship Committee about the way she and Giso Gorodish were working with the ushers for the Sunday services. This the first time a "Worship Committee job" has been filled by people not on the Worship Commitee. It's been a most successful experiment. Ambra agreed to continue through the summer.

QUALITY CONTROL

We spent some time disucssing ways we could improve the delivery of Logistics and Program Leader services. One of the decisions was to make job descriptions and the Program Leader script on MSUUF's web site.

JOYS AND SORROWS

During a recent service Mark gave an extended explanation of Joys and Sorrows. Since then J & S have gone more smoothly.

WE'VE GOT IT EASY!

Nora read an article from the Rogue Valley UU newsletter. The article reported on the weekly meetings of the Worship Committee, Saturdays from 9:00 to noon. We agreed that maybe we weren't as overworked as we had thought!
