    • Please see the video Linda recorded as an introduction to the proposed MAP.
    • Because so much is up in the air with the wider world at the moment, Council recommends the congregation approve this MAP with the assumption that we can and will review how we are doing at the Semi-annual meeting in June, and adjust accordingly.
