In the absence of Chairperson Pam Ulness, Pastor Kevin\u00a0called the meeting to order and opened with prayer.
\nPresent: Dana Hartel, Pastor Kevin Heffernan, Cindy Hendren, Jody Kell, Margaret Kohl, Holly
\nNelson, Lani Stanek, and Ellen Smolinski . Geoff Hendren, Craig Kell, and Ray Zegers attended as
\nguests.
\nThe main focus of the meeting was on the seasons of Lent and Easter as follows:
\nSEASON OF LENT:
\nPastor Kevin mentioned there would be a special evening of prayer with possible prayer stations for
\none of the upcoming Wednesday night Lenten services. He also stated there would be no communion
\nat the Lenten services. After speaking with the group about the difficulty of the sadness and darkness
\nof the Lenten season, he encouraged members to share suggestions for meaningful worship services
\nand renewed hope. The following suggestions were made:
\n\uf075 Changing the arrangement of room setup such as chairs facing the windows instead of the front
\nof the sanctuary.
\n\uf075 Setting the wooden cross in a conspicuous location where people are reminded of Christ\u2019s
\njourney and suffering on the cross.
\n\uf075 Posting a couple mirrors so people can see their reflection in them, perhaps upon leaving the
\nsanctuary after worship service.
\n\uf075 Handing out small crosses at beginning of services for people to hold in their hand for comfort
\nand renewed hope. Crosses would be returned at end of service to be used again.
\nEASTER SUNDAY:
\nJody has arranged for a violinist on Easter Sunday and is also working to obtain a trumpeter. The choir
\nwill be singing for both services. As a change, the black draping on the windows will not be done this
\nyear. Other suggestions were as follows:
\n\uf075 Constructing a cross of wire on which people can insert personal notes.
\n\uf075 Shining a spot light on the wooden cross trimmed with white cloth and lilies or other special
\nlighting on the altar.
\nOther thoughts in advance of the summer and Christmas seasons were:
\n\uf075 Lani Stanek spoke further of construction that is planned in the village this summer, and it will
\nmost likely be necessary to schedule the summer outdoor service and picnic at the church
\nbecause of bridge construction and limited parking in the area of the Nelson\u2019s Wolf River
\nResort. The worship service could be held in the gathering area with doors open to the
\nbackyard area to obtain more of an outdoor atmosphere. Picnicking might be done indoors or
\noutdoors if people are invited to bring their lawn chairs.
\n\uf075 During the Advent season, to include a bag with the Advent devotional for the purpose of
\nreturning it with a donation of food or clothing at Christmastime.
\nNo date was set for the next meeting of the Worship Team. Date will be determined. There being no
\nfurther business, the meeting was adjourned.
