After reviewing the Doodle polls for [http://www.doodle.com/participation.html?pollId=9z8thgv36bn9t5r6 scheduling] and [http://www.doodle.com/participation.html?pollId=tighv9dxiftt6kag 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.

+*Move to Wednesday nights @ 7:30pm SLT
 *This time is overwhelmingly the best time for most to meet. However, it conflicts with Koinonia's worship time, also on Xenia, and poses a challenge for server capacity.
 *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).  It would be a great change of scenery, give us a chance to explore new places, and contribute a "homey" kind of vibe to the conversation.

 ==Commitment to 1PCSL "Sister Ministries"==
 *Since we're no longer meeting on a regular basis on Tuesday nights, we should encourage any community members who are able, to attend Church of the Dawntreader worship services Tuesday nights at 7 pm SLT on Born.
-*As often as time and the nature of our Wednesday night conversation permits, we should also consider joining the Koinonia community at the conclusion of their worship service, when they meet at Within the Vine (also a sister ministry) for conversation and fellowship.
+*During the time after Koinonia's Wednesday night service ends and before our conversation begins (7pm - 7:30pm), all community members who are able to are encouraged to join us at Within the Vine (also a sister ministry) for joint conversation between our two groups and any others who would like to help support Within the Vine's goal of dialogue and unity among faith communities.
 ==Adoption==
 I'd like to propose that, unless anyone has any serious concerns about any of the items, we adopt and support this schedule beginning next week (Sep. 27 - Oct 3).  If there are things you'd like to discuss and possibly change before we adopt it, we can do so at our Tuesday night gathering (tonight), by sending an IM to the 1PCSL group, or via the "discussion" tab on this page.
