LUF Action Plan 2010
The draft action plan for this year was presented to members on March 28. Some suggestions for implementation were made, but there was no objection to the plan. The Board will ratify this at the April board meeting. The meeting also looked at missional objectives. While this is an area that needs further and more comprehensive discussion within the Fellowship, there was clear support for Worship/Sunday Services as our primary mission. The main points of the action plan are:
