Faith Formation Board Meeting
Tuesday, September 2, 2025

Present: Juan Garcia, Linea Johnson, Dorothy Warn., Yoko Ambrosini, Angela Nelson, Kat Harris and Elizabeth Garcia.
Meeting Times: The group decided to meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 7pm
Officers for next year: Jessica C. agreed to Chair with Kat (last year’s chair) to lend her support. The Chair speaks a week before the meeting with the FF staff and sets the agenda for the monthly meeting, which will be written and passed out by the Assistant/Secretary. Yoko agreed to be Vice Chair and will run the monthly meeting if Jessica is gone.
The meeting focused on reviewing and clarifying the parish’s Faith formation bylaws, particularly regarding the roles and responsibilities of the board and its members. The discussion included the ideal team structure for teaching classes, the inclusion of a catechist on the board, and the staggered terms for board members to ensure continuity. The board’s minimum meeting frequency and quorum requirements were also addressed.
Adult Faith Formation: 
Angela bible study for parents/adults during the same time slot as children's Faith Formation. Phil is willing to lead a class. Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life, from Ascension press looks wonderful, with content filmed on location in Israel, the Middle East, and Europe, where the church began. A half-hour video will be followed by group discussion. There are ten classes, at 9:45 a.m. Sunday mornings.
ACTION STEP: The group discussed prioritizing events and delegating tasks, for events the parish will have. The group also considered inviting a catechist to each meeting to highlight their work and create a core list of prioritized events.
Parish International Harvest Festival: Sept 27,2025 at 5:30 PM. Bring your family!
No Snacks Required: If you want to bring snacks feel free, but nothing is expected.
