Discussions and feedback included:
What worked in 2011 …
  • Many young elders continue to step up
  • Substituting for others unavailability
  • Changes to earlier times for our services in summer means more time with our families
    • What was challenging …
  • the manse project because of time and financial resources constraints
  • pressure on smaller groups for rostered duties
  • insufficient support for some groups
    • What needed improvement …
  • more clear communication
  • increase presence in some groups
  • increase awareness for health & safety eg earthquake, fire drills
    • Did this retreat meet your expectations?
  • “This refreshed the focus for me for our work.”
  • “We need more of these as it reiterates our purpose of being elders.”
  • “We gained other insight into improvements needed.”
    • Session will continue to work on “Bus Stop” issues that were identified at the retreat. It was also felt this retreat was very successful and cost effective as it was held in our own complex and the high turnout indicated we are more comfortable at “home.”
