In addition to summarizing developments reported by each of the churches, he shared Kayla’s news that she would be moving out of Andrews House (where she has offered hospitality to C of S visitors for 19 years) because the Festival Center Board has decided to sell the current Discipleship Year house and move the DYers into Andrews House. Kayla and Trish Stefanik are in conversation with Dayspring about moving into Overlook (the McClanen house) and offering retreat space for individuals and small groups there.

He also reported that the projected budget from Kayla for the CofS office for 2017 is $41,565, or $5,200 from each member faith community. (Since some communities will not be able to provide that much support, all communities are encouraged to be as generous as possible.
