After reviewing the Doodle polls for scheduling and planning, and after several conversations with members and visitors, I'd like to propose the following schedule of gatherings:

Weekly Prayer Service

  • Sundays at 7pm SLT (same as now) at the 1PCSL meeting house, with time for conversation and fellowship afterwards.
  • In order to make planning & preparation easier, I also propose adopting a simplified (but familiar) format based on the Book of Common Worship. We can still do Taize services on an occasional basis, and whomever is leading is still free to vary the service as needed.

Weekly Conversation Group

  • Move to Wednesday nights at 7pm SLT
  • Since this conflicts with Koinonia's worship time, also on Xenia, I propose we meet off-Xenia at various member homes (aka Neill, MB, Menchor, and Pelagius, who has offered use of Dawntreader facilities) on a rotating basis. We can leave signs with landmarks at the 1PCSL meeting house directing visitors, as well as inform regulars of location via notification and SLURL (via twitter/facebook).

Monthly SL Orientation Class

  • 2nd Saturday of each month @ 8am SLT (since this is monthly, we could and should also experiment with different times)
  • I'm hoping we can rotate leadership of this among those who are (more or less) experienced with SL.
  • With rotating leadership, we can also emphasize different aspects of SL according to personal aptitude and preference.
  • Field trips are a good idea for this, too, although it would be helpful to generally start @ the 1PCSL Meeting House on Xenia to cover a few basics with those who are really new.
