Sharing Christ, Changing Lives

 Dear Members, Friends, and Guests,

Our semi-annual voter’s assembly will be Wednesday, May 28th at 6:30 pm.  Per our constitution and bylaws, all members and guests are invited to attend.  However, only confirmed members 18 and over may vote.

At the May voter’s assembly we present the Annual Ministry Plan, elect members of the Board of Ministry Directors, and ratify the members of the Spiritual Care Ministry Team.  Our December voter’s assembly is for approval of our annual budget.

While we have an excellent staff and lay leadership, the “big” decisions in a Lutheran church are made by the congregation.  This includes calling a Pastor, electing the members of the Board of Ministry Directors, approving an annual budget, and the acquisition or sale of land.  We encourage all voting members to attend this meeting and ask that those who are eligible to vote exercise their responsibility.

Per the suggestion of a Board of Ministry Directors member, I’m going to give a test run of recapping the previous weekend’s sermons.  Here’s the first one: 

Sermon Recap from Mother’s Day

• We ask God’s forgiveness for where we have failed to be “little Christs”.
• We thank God for His power and grace working in us.
• And we thank God for our parents, through whom God gave to us the gift of life!

Joyfully Serving Jesus,

Pastor Mark
