Past CCC Meetings
 
On Sunday May 17 after worship, we held a what-if” Congregational Information Session where budget trade-offs were presented and discussed. The intent was to show the budget ramifications of various Landing Place options with and without the Associate Minister for Care & Community Call, for instance, so that you can make informed decisions about prioritizing these very important matters in the life of our community. Here is the recording of this Info Session, and here are the presentation slides.

On Sunday May 3, and Wednesday May 6th via Zoom, we held Budget Town Hall Meetings to discuss the proposed 2026-2027 CCC budget. Here is the link to listen to the Sunday Town Hall meetingHere is the link for the Wednesday Zoom follow up Budget Town Hall meeting. And here is the link for the presentation (PDF slides). There will be a vote on the final draft of the budget at the Annual Meeting on June 7, so please take advantage of one of these sessions to gather the facts you need to vote your heart at the Annual Meeting.

On Sunday April 26th, we held a Congregational Information / Q&A Session to discuss a proposal (attached here for your review) to use part ($110,000) of the proceeds from the sale of our building at 9525 Colesville Road to retire the member loans associated with the renovation of the Retreat Center. There will be a vote on the proposal at our Annual Congregational Meeting on June 7, so if you missed this Information Session, please listen to the recording here so that you are informed in advance of the vote.

On March 22nd, the Landing Place Team presented representative options for future church homes and then asked for feedback from the congregation. Here is a report on the feedback received by the Landing Place Team. The report gives an overview, presents a graphical and numerical summary of the ratings, and includes all of the thoughtful written comments received. This report has also been placed on the Landing Place Team page on our website, which you can always find by going to our Homepage >> About >> Who We Are.
