Our Church Council will be bringing two items for your approval after each Eucharist on the weekend of May 14/15 and Wednesday, May 18.
Election of new Church Council for the July 2022 – June 2024 term. According to our Church Constitution, earlier this year a nominating committee was formed consisting of Duane Wilcoxson, Scott Mramor, Susan Franger, Alex Freshour, and Pr. Mielke. They received names, prayed, discussed, and asked the people listed below to serve. This slate was presented to the Council and approved and is now being brought to the congregation for approval:
Corey Van Luchene, chair; Duane Wilcoxson, vice-chair; Sabra Twiford, treasurer; Frank Lehker, secretary. At-large members are Candace Andresen, Cindy Grider, Rhett Fisher, Tony Harman, Diane Raderstorf, Kelly Wiard.
Final Approval of our updated Constitution. In April of 2021, the Church Council brought some recommended updates to our Church Constitution to the congregation which was approved. The next step in the process was having our constitution reviewed and approved by the Indiana District of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. That has now taken place with slight changes. Those changes are not substantial changes to the constitution – mostly language updates and corrections to better fit current synodical bylaws. It now comes back to our congregation for final approval.
