| |
| − | ====Agenda 26 January 2019====
| |
| − | At this meeting we discussed;
| |
| − | * Discuss the project an set some expectations and goals.
| |
| − | ** Timeline - In our discussion we did no set a defined time. 9 months to 18 months was discussed. Time will be determined by the research required.
| |
| − | ** How do we make this a living document that can be used for 'ministry' - We are giving this some prayerful thought.
| |
| − | * Discuss ground rules - Everyone has input, all bring unique talents, all opinions will be respected, debate is expected.
| |
| − | * Discuss contributions - We will accept information from anywhere or anyone. Acceptance does not guarantee it will be used.
| |
| − | * If time allows we will start on an outline. - We discussed a couple ways to do it. No decision was made. By decade (or period of time) was one discussed
| |
| − | | |
| − | A couple things to think about,
| |
| − | * Book Title Idea's
| |
| − | * Project 'focus scripture' idea's (Genesis 1:1a In the beginning)?
| |
| − | * Who do we want to write the forward.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is my intention to use a wiki to collect and organize data. This has several advantages over using a "shared file" or having one person assemble pieces.
| |
| − | 1. Everyone can see the most current information anytime.
| |
| − | 2. Simplified formatting. If you can type you are good.
| |
| − | 3. Multiple people can edit at the same time.
| |
| − | 4. 24X7 access.
| |
| − | 5. No special software needed. any browser will work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I did a quick overview of how to edit and have set out instructions on how to get registered and approved to edit. I will provide a class for anyone not comfortable with using a wiki. I think you will be surprised how easy it is once you ate started.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We did not set a date for the next meeting but I am expecting it to be in March. We will have data available by then and will need to review some of the above items.

| |
| − | | |
| − | 1808 The first Methodist Church, a one room log building that was round in shape, was built west of the Missouri River near Peruque Creek. After the church was built they discovered that the area frequently flooded.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1809 The Mt. Zion Society built the second Methodist Church, a log building erected a few yards east of the Zumwalt home. This society was the beginning of our congregation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1853 A new stone church was built on Mt. Zion Hill, one mile south of O’Fallon on what is now Highway K. Rufus Gamble and his family gave the organ to the church.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1863 A female seminary, Fairview, was founded under the patronage of the Mt. Zion Society and was headed by professor Richard H. Pitman.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1876 Professor Pitman was elected President of Howard Female College.
| |
| − | | |

| − | | |
