  New Business

  · Dismissal of children---Questions posed: Possible dismissal song? A cappella music? Instrumental only? Kids sing a song they learn? Quiet procession? Should they meet at baptismal font, not in front of church? Which is less disruptive? Which will parents feel more comfortable with? When should lector come forward?

  Decision: Children will meet in front of church, as done now. Will have piano only during Easter Season, will stop when children reach baptismal font.

  Lector will be at ambo ready to begin when children reach baptismal font.

  Revisit discussion at May meeting.
