Faith Ministry Stories

Annual Meeting December 4

Posted by Pastor John Klawiter on

On Sunday, December 4th, Faith Lutheran is trying something new. We are holding an annual meeting to elect new council members. Once elected, those council members will start to serve their 3-year term in January. Historically, this vote was held during the same meeting as our budget was approved at the end of January.

During pandemic, Faith presented the annual meeting information during worship. We shared the stories of ministry from the past year. Council loved this model and through our work with the Saint Paul Area Synod, we discussed ways to continue doing this going forward. We also named the importance of being able to vote before many of the snowbirds in our congregation depart.

This earlier meeting will be an opportunity to hold a vote while a larger majority of the congregation is present. We don’t anticipate any additional votes and do not require annual reports to be completed for this meeting.

Here’s what you need to know about December 4th:

  • Attend either worship service at 9 or 10:30. You can worship from home, but to vote, you must be physically present.
  • 10 am, vote for new council members. You will sign in prior to entering the sanctuary.
  • By 10:15, we’ll have Faith Break.

A written annual report, inclusive of the 2023 budget, will be available in January. We will host another brief meeting between worship services on January 22nd.  Thank you everyone for your leadership in the ministry at Faith! What an exciting year and the Holy Spirit has much in store for 2023!
