Community Outreach Groups
Which ones are still active?
PROPOSAL: At least one active member from each working group must attend a Sunday General Assembly and if they are absent, they must attend the following Sunday or that working group will be considered inactive.
The proposal was tabled for consensus at Sunday’s general assembly.
Until then, we will request a temperature check on the status of our groups and then go from there.
