• The Board’s Conflict of Interest policy was read and discussed. No conflicts were identified. Members were asked to inform BOT should any arise.
• Eliot Chapel has been gifted a house in Tower Grove Park. This is a substantial, unrestricted gift from Chad Keller, a beloved member who recently passed away. 
• The Open Questions Committee (Matthew Hull, Bob Becker, and Steve Jarrett) has begun its work. Two congregational discussions were held Sunday, September 26. The first Open Question is: How shall we center love in our care of one another?
• This month’s thoughtful question directed to the Board came from Rev. Krista: How do you access your courage? What would prompt you to access your courage and how would you do so? Find out more about the Three Open Questions process here.
