> 1. Minutes of December to be approved.
>
> 2. Theme for 2020- 2021: How can we be mindful and authentic
> in cherishing all life?
>
> 3. Sharing: Committee members will bring “anchor readings” for
> the theme as resources for development of worship services.
>
> 4. Moving Forward with Virtual Worship and Return to In-Church
> Services: What are next steps??
>
> • Providing both in-person and virtual worship services:
> After much discussion, the committee settled on the following pilot
> approach, adjusted as needed:
>
> o One in-person service will be offered per month.
>
> o Timing will be 11:00 a.m. for virtual service, 12:15 p.m.
> for in-person service.
>
> o Both services will usually be held in the Sanctuary.
>
> o Safety protocols will be followed at all times.
>
> o The Safety Committee (in cooperation with the Membership
> Committee) will provide Greeters and Ushers to implement those protocols.
>
> o The in-person service will emphasize
> participation/interaction of attendees and will be light on incorporation
> of elements requiring technology.
>
> o The in-person service will feature Randall Kidder’s live
> music.
>
> o The first in-person service will be November 22 for
> Thanksgiving; the Christmas Eve service will be the in-person service for
> December.
>
> • MUSIC: a) A service called Worshipcast that deals with
> copyright issues for music. The cost per year is $235. One concern is that
> the covered pieces are primarily from the Christian tradition. b) Another
> alternative is purchasing rights to use one piece in perpetuity. For
> example Emma’s Revolution charges $250 for “Peace, Salaam, Shalom.” c) See
> links sent by Martha McG d) We will consult with Martha Webster about
> other alternatives.
>
> • GUIDELINES FOR DESIGNING/PREPARING WORSHIP SERVICE: Martha
> will prepare a draft and will submit it to Committee members for feedback.

> made to UU The Vote. Martha reports that no donation was sent from W & M
> Committee to EVE. As we recall, the congregation was encouraged to send
> individual donations.
>
> 9. Budget Requests for 2021-2022
>
> 10. Choir/Music Update: Suzyn
>
> 11. The Committee decided to ask committees/groups to reflect on
> how they are, or intend to be, mindful and authentic in cherishing all life
> and then to be a part of, or to take responsibility for, a worship service
> on that 2020-2021 theme. The Committee hopes that this approach will
> deepen insight into the purpose of the committee/group, will increase
> involvement of members/friends, and will inform the congregation of the
> activities of the committees/groups. Adeline included information about
> this initiative in The Confluence for October.
