OUR SPIRITUAL CARE MINISTRY TEAM…met this week. Here are some highlights from this Team:
There are nine members of this team: Harold Bess, John Browning, Hal Chase, Andrew Draper, Reggie Farr, Brad Palmer, Chic Randow, Wayne Reed and Pastor Tim. There are five primary objectives for this team: 1. serve as assistants to the Pastor in matters relative to the spiritual and worship life of the congregation 2. offer fraternal admonition and consolation to those members who give evidence of the need for personal spiritual attention 3. be involved in the employment and welfare of the congregation's employees 4. assist the Pastor and Servant Leadership Council in stated and assigned administrative tasks involved in the congregation's work 5. work toward involving all members of the congregation in the accepted Mission & Ministry Plan Besides discussing worship schedules for the next few months we spent time in prayer for our congregation and individuals among us. We hope to be re-establishing our regular telephone "check-in" calls; some of you may be asked to help with this. Please join us in prayer for the 10 people engaged in our Basics & Beginnings Class. …the repository of this congregation’s long and rich history, are getting some much-needed attention…
+ Jim Baker has organized records and information about the cemetery at Trinity. + Don and Dianne Klingemann are working on the records from Pastor Diefenthaler’s years at Bethany. + Peggy Rule and Alice Hinrichs will be sorting through memorabilia from the years that Bethany had an elementary school. + Martha Tobias and Betty Kitzmann are working on the inventory in the safe. + The work is time-consuming and sometimes tedious, but progress is being made! However, much remains to be done, and if you would like to help in any way, please contact Betty Kitzmann. It was great to have so many of you engaged in our Voter’s Meeting last Sunday! Thank you for your time, and, may it be that you came away from our meeting with a renewed sense of the mission of our ECEC and the unity we share in the Lord concerning this mission!
As a reminder, we approved using the accrued interest of the School Endowment Fund, up to a maximum of $50,000, for the monthly financial needs of our ECEC through the end of this fiscal year (August). For the month of January we will NOT need any financial help from the Fund – God is good! On a note concerning our sacrificial giving in our tithes and offerings, we currently are $500 above our expected giving levels for our current fiscal year! Glory to the Lord for His work among us! |
