Pastor Cheryl Matthews ReportDear
Friends in Christ:
Thanks
to all who attended Christ Lutheran's Annual Meeting on Sunday,
February 14, 2021. It was the first time we had both in-person
attendance and those who joined us over Facebook Live. We are
grateful for all the nominees who were elected with an unanimous
vote to serve on the Church Council, the Trust Fund, Nominating
Committee, and as delegates to the Synod Assembly.
We
welcome new members Marv Rodvold and Karen Mullikin to Christ
Lutheran's Church Council and thank John Wiemer for agreeing to a
second term. Brad Duellman and Dan Weltzien will serve on the
Trust Fund. Jeff Hulberg, Duane Miller and Bill Bremer are on the
Nominating Committee and Connie Scharlau, Bernard Ziegeweid, and
Lacey Konkel are our Synod Assembly delegates. We have an
excellent group of gifted people who will serve us well as we move
into a future of hope and promise. Thanks for sharing your time
and your talents with our community of faith! You are truly a
blessing.
Affirmation was expressed to Kay Wiemer for serving with excellence as our church treasurer. Kay was successful in applying for and receiving the Payroll Protection Program funds for Christ Lutheran this past year and we are so grateful for her expertise and commitment in her role. Thanks
was also extended to the Worship team members who faithfully
shared their gifts so that our online worship was up and running
immediately when the pandemic made that necessary. Also, to Brad
Duellman who worked so hard to plan and set up the sanctuary for
safe, in-person worship. And to the Stewardship team whose
dedicated work and efforts have led us to highly successful
results. Finally, gratitude to Tony Myers and his dedicated
leadership as Church Council president and all church council
members who have guided us through this pandemic.
There
was also a motion to approve as Christ Lutheran's Mission
Statement: "Living and Growing in God's Amazing Grace," a word
that you hear and see every week as a part of our worship
together. It is short enough to remember and celebrates the grace
we know through Jesus Christ.
May
God bless your continued journey through Lent.
Pastor
Cheryl Matthews
