Splinters from the Board Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a great Holiday! Lorenz Dauner, Board Moderator, offered the list of Department and Committee Chairs for the Board to affirm. He had contacted each person to see if they were still interested in continuing in their position. Those who said “yes”, were affirmed by the Board. Thank you to everyone for their service to our church. Terry Herder was thanked for all the work he and his committee have done to get the two houses ready to be rented. We are happy to report we have two renters who always pay their rent on time! CWF reported they are paying for repairs for the hot water heater and purchasing something that will allow the one we have to function for both the dishwasher and the kitchen. They are also helping with the curtains in the Fellowship Hall. A complete copy of the Board minutes and the Financial Report are available in the church office for anyone who is interested.

Minister’s Musings… It is rapidly approaching February, Valentine’s may, President’s Day, as well as, even more importantly, the beginning of the Lenten Season. We will be joining Valley Christian for their annual Strove Tuesday pancake meal and service on the 5th, Ash Wednesday is on theĀ 6th (no service), and we are moving quickly toward a major event in Christendom, the celebration of Easter ( the resurrection of Jesus). Baptism classesare being offered in anticipation of a service of baptism during our Easter service. We will be sharing in some soup, salad and bread, meals with a time for discussion, reflection and worship on a few of the Lenten Sunday’s following our traditional worship (stay tuned). Much is, thanks be to God, going on in which we can all participate. I will end this edition of “Minister’s Musing” by sharing a portion of the Gospel of Matthew 28:18-20, as we prepare for the coming of Lent and Easter; “And Jesus came and said to them. ‘AII authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, Iam with you always, to the end of the age.’” (NRSV) May these words excite, sustain, and encourage us to be the light of God to the people we meet. Blessings, Alan |
