This year has been a productive busy year for the Committee. Throughout the year, the Committee worked hard to develop a strategy to increase its outreach. Keeping that strategy in mind, the Committee worked to goals and objectives. Accomplishments At the end of each year when asked to take stock of what was accomplished during the previous year, this year, the Mission and Outreach Committee was overwhelmed by the generous support the congregation gave to the committee. Last year one of the goals was to increase the committee membership in order to have a committee that reflected the membership of the church. We are happy to report we believe we are doing a good job at recruiting new members. Due to this increase in membership, the committee was able to increase its community support. This year we are saddened to report the departure of Debbie Campbell from our committee but are happy to welcome Ruthann and Donna as members. Their support has been key to this year's success. We would like to thank everyone in the Congregation for supporting all of our work. In particular, we would like to give a big thank you to the Sunday School for volunteering to sponsor most of our efforts. They have continued to supply most of the breakfast items for the majority of the year. Jill Panian Chairperson
