Vice President’s Report:

There was talk of having Leave a Legacy reimburse $1800 for the AED, but instead it has been decided that Leave a Legacy will reconcile the account by putting money into the General Fund to cover the $2,606 to ELCA and $1,500 to Camp Wapo to satisfy our benevolence payments which was previously budgeted.

Allan recommends to the council to accept the proposal submitted by Leave a Legacy.

Secretary’s Report:

Items of note from Natalia:

  • REPEAT REQUEST- if you can make an effort to keep your eyes open for new faces and visitors, as there has been a steady stream of visitors in the past months and it will continue going forward. I know you love seeing your people here, but taking even one minute after worship to introduce yourself to someone you don’t know can do wonders for our worshipping community. YOU CAN DO IT!

And Katie:

  • She will get time and talent lists to the appropriate committees as they come in from the Sunday School Registration (Sunday Morning Experience, Highway Clean-up, etc…)
  • Trunk or Treat will be Saturday, October 27th – this is a great outreach event!

Senior Pastor’s Report:

  • Pastor Chad reported that there is a new member orientation planned and there has been lots of good energy in the building. We are seeing many new families with young children.
  • Wayne brought to Chad’s attention:
    • $7700 needed to cover roof repairs. This will come out of a designated fund.
    • There is an ongoing insurance claim related to the skylight. We should get a total of $4400 from this.
    • HVAC insurance claim – insurance should pretty much cover all the repairs necessary.

Unfinished Business:

  • Julia e-mailed Wayne asking him to get the budget forms sent out and requesting that they are due back on October 8th. That gives Julia and Wayne a week to look at it before the October 16th meeting.

New Business:

  • Detailed budget will be brought to council for the November meeting. We will move the November council meeting to November 13th, 2018 due to Thanksgiving.
  • Congregational budget meeting will be scheduled for December 9th at 11:30am.

Action Items:

  • Our next Executive Team meeting will be Tuesday, October 16th at 6:15pm.
  • Full Council will meet on October 16th, as well as November 13th.

 

Prayer: Allan Grant led us in the Lord’s Prayer.

A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Julia Sevald and seconded by Lynn Anderson. Motion approved.

Respectfully submitted,

Melissa Johnson
