[Worship] order of service folder for pilot program this summer

[Adeline Bailey]

Hi Darryl,
As you know, Membership thought it would be best to limit it to 
newcomers; no firm decision from W&M, although it's mainly directed 
toward newcomers. While we've been working on it, we've discovered that 
there's info we thought "everyone" knew that everyone doesn't.
As for philosophy of inclusion, please direct comments to the 
groups--Board? Social Justice?-- who were drafting it (this is a draft, 
so I presume they would be interested in your reactions) for final 
consideration at a congregational meeting in September.
Thanks for your review,
Adeline
