Committee Chairs for 2010
Committee work in any organization is a mixed blessing. We hate going to meetings, but we feel good about what we can accomplish with the help of others. This list represents some of the active committees at Cokesbury UMC. Most of our meetings are open to all members of the church. You do not have to be a member to attend, although votes will be taken from committee members only. We encourage you to attend any meetings that you find of interest.
Cokesbury is dedicated to open communication between the church members. To that end, we will publish minutes of the committees that send in their documents to the Web Master. Please use these documents as a method of keeping up with your committee.
