I have now visited 31 different people in the congregation over the past seven weeks. Almost half the congregation. Most are sympathetic, some keen, some have ideas (which I'll mention later) - and a second person gave a donation! Great.
Monday evening of 22 Jan saw the first official planning meeting: - Four of us - the minister, his wife, myself and Richard, a member of the congregation who nobly offered his flat for the evening.
Richard also offered to host a coffee morning Tuesday 5th February at his flat. We have an event planned! Hurray.
The second event is to be a presentation by myself about the project and two main charities we will be supporting - This is on Friday 8th February in our church hall at 7.30pm..
The minister agreed to include the project in the agenda of the next Church Council Meeting on March 5th.
Although I had initially planned to support three charities - World Land Trust, Cool Earth and A Rocha, the committee decided it would be much better if I just concentrated on two, so we chose World land Trust and A Rocha.
It was suggested I write a paragraph for the upcoming notice sheet due to go to press on Wednesday... That's my next task.
