On Sunday, November 24 we will have a members Community Conversation (CC) after our prayer service to discuss the feasibility of sharing space with another worshiping community, such as Downtown Disciples.  Please plan to stay, whether online or in-person, to help us work through this issue.

The Council would like to thank the members of the Space Sharing committee, which was borne out of our retreat held in August 2023:  Kathy Eastman, Martha Gelhaus, Jean Minahan, Kathy Olah, Lars Peterson, Donna Richard-Langer, Kathi Sircy, Ivan Webber, and Kris Wells.  They have spent countless hours in discussion and research, with the final report and their recommendation provided in a position paper presented at the Community Conversation on 10/27/2024 and posted on our website, as part of the notes from that October 27th CC.

We need to hear from members about your thoughts, questions, and ideas.  At the conclusion of this CC, we will decide whether to proceed with an online vote.  That vote would allow DMIEC members to proceed with discussions with the Downtown Disciples community for sharing our space.

In advance of the CC, the council is preparing a list of frequently asked questions, which will be emailed to the membership for study.  Other questions will arise during the CC, but some questions can be addressed in that FAQ email.
