ATTENDEES:  J.C. Byas, Tony Sayre, Jeremy Lynd,  Dallas Hensley, Perry Clark, Mark Macinturf, Darin Crawford, Mickey Brunjes, David Reel Sr., , David Reel Jr., Joshua Reel, Martin Howard, Tony Keys, Danny Echols, Charlton Rhinehart, Calvin Watson, Peter Vilander, David Pallotti

    After an opening prayer, led by Tony Sayre, the meeting was called to order by J.C. Byas. The meeting was specifically called to determine whether the church wanted to change its procedures in serving the Lord’s Supper.

J.C. opened by explaining the way the Lord’s Supper was administered pre-Covid.

Tony Sayre proposed to return the previous way of carrying out the Lord’s Supper prior to Covid.

Perry Clark objected to the current way of handling the Lord’s Supper in that not enough time was taken between prayers for reflection.

Several men voiced concerns that returning to the format of passing trays would be more time consuming and distracting.

After a lengthy discussion, Dallas Hensley suggested that the administration of the Lord’s Supper remain as is, that is, using the pre-packaged emblems and taking it all together and it was agreeable by all.

Charlton Rhinehart questioned the contents of the pre-packaged elements to ensure they were actual bread and grape juice.  Tony Sayre was going to verify the ingredients and report back.

David Pallotti requested that two men be enlisted to assist at the table to help with prayers.  All the men agreed and Charlton suggested that Tony Keys add one person to the service duty roster to assist at the table beginning with the June schedule.

Mark McInturff motioned that the administration of the Lord’s Supper on Sunday night be similar to the process on Sunday morning.  The suggestion was accepted and will be adopted beginning in May.

The meeting ended ahead of schedule, so other topics were briefly brought up.

Dallas stated that he is currently doing some work on the ditch on the church property to make it safer for the children when playing in the yard.

Darin Crawford suggested a spring cleaning day at the church building and Martin Howard agreed to schedule one.
