Presbyterian Church in Columbia, Maryland
Worship Every Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Summary of the Sept. 20, 2021 Session Meeting

The Session voted to approve two motions:

  • To allow two catered meals for the 3rd Capital Campaign to take place in Fellowship Hall: an invitation-only gathering for advanced commitment pledges before the campaign officially launches, and a congregation-wide luncheon on Vision Fest Sunday on Nov. 7. Both get-togethers will adhere to the most-recent CDC and government guidance available, including switching to a virtual event format if necessary. More details coming soon, including the potential option of requesting a carryout meal.
  • To require all adult volunteers working with children and youth to show proof of covid-19 vaccination or proof of a negative test (weekly) at the individual’s expense. This rule applies to LOGOS, Sunday Experience, confirmation class and the nursery.

In other business:

Finance Committee Chair Bob Clemens announced the group currently anticipates the church will convert from a construction loan to a mortgage with the Presbyterian Investment and Loan Program on Oct. 6. PILP has agreed to grant another deadline extension if needed, he said.
