Consistory Mini-Minutes:  The Lakeview Consistory met on Monday, July 20.

2. Becky Hibbard provided updates about planning for the 75th anniversary.
3. We decided unanimously to join the Northeastern Middle Assembly (NEMA).
4. We discussed potential candidates for elder and deacon.
5. We were encouraged to practice hospitality by welcoming warmly any visitors who come to Lakeview.
