The ncs committee meetings are up and running again for the year, with our first full meeting happening last Friday at Shadders’ house. Because of the very busy but also very smooth and successful start to the year, we spent a large portion of the meeting praying and giving thanks to God for the great start he has given us to the year (A list of what we gave thanks for is at the end of this post so you can pray about it too!).

Praying is a mussive part of what committee does in meetings, but we also talk alot. This week, the subject of committee roles, what we do as a committee and as individual parts of the group, was firmly on the agenda. How this panned out was that we looked at all of the different jobs that people on the team do, looked at which ones are currently filled, and which ones need someone to do it. The result of this was that all of the most important jobs now have people doing them, which is something that we can add to the list of things to be thankful for. We also decided that committee meetings will now be held on the wrong side of midday on Fridays.

Much of the rest of the meeting was spent discussing social conventions on stationery, and the giving of said stationery, and as we do every week, enjoying Jen’s hospitality. This week, we’re looking forward to a committee field trip to Derby St, which looks like it’ll be pretty tops!

Sweet as! I’ve always wondered what the mysterious NCS committee does… and I never knew they were all so old…
