The main focus of the meeting was on the upcoming months of the autumn season. Discussion was as\u00a0follows:<\/p>\n
WORSHIP AND ACTIVITIES DURING JULY AND AUTUMN<\/b>\n\nSunday, July 15 <\/b>- Since parking around The Wolf River Inn is limited because of the bridge\nand street construction, the outdoor worship service and picnic lunch will be held at the church\nthis year. Worship will be held in the Gathering Area with doors open to the back yard area, if\nweather permits. The potluck picnic is to be served inside. People are invited to bring their\nlawn chairs and eat outside or, if preferred, can eat inside, too.\nMonth of August <\/b>\u2013 Pastor Kevin will be on sabbatical leave for the entire month.\n\nMonth of September <\/b>\u2013 Pastor Kevin is planning to present a series on \u201cHappiness\u201d at the\nweekly worship service\u2014what it means to be happy and, furthermore, joyful. Songs of joy will\nbe sung and other ideas might be to use the \u201csmiley face\u201d theme by using smiley face stickers\nand decorations. Suggestion was to use colorful altar colors and ribbon banners during this\ntime. Sarah Miller also mentioned she may be able to draw peoples\u2019 attention to this worship\nseries and theme on the Lord of the Lakes Facebook web page.\nPastor Kevin mentioned that a fund raiser event is currently being planned for the end of\nSeptember.\n\nSunday, Sept. 9 <\/b>\u2013 Start of Sunday School with Rally Day. Jody is also planning a special\nmusical service.\n\nMonth of October <\/b>\u2013 An updated church directory and photo book will be in progress during\nthis month. Pastor Kevin stated that another weekly series at worship services may focus on a\n\u201charvest\u201d theme. This matter will be discussed further at the next meeting of the Worship\nTeam.\n\nLooking Ahead to the Thanksgiving and Christmas Seasons <\/b>\u2013 Thanksgiving season will be\ndiscussed further at the next meeting. Chairperson Pam Ulness mentioned that the Advent\nSeason begins the first week in December. Also, Jody let the team know that she and Valerie\nGulke are planning to use a \u201cCandy Cane\u201d theme, portraying its Christian meaning, for\ndecorations and include it in some manner during the worship services in December.\nRegarding further business, Margaret Kohl suggested that, whenever possible, it is better to have a\nfamiliar opening hymn at the beginning of our worship services. She also mentioned a familiar\nsong\/hymn encourages people to sing and quite often sets the tone of the worship service. A brief\ndiscussion occurred during which Jody explained how the first hymn is often selected, and that she tries\nto coordinate with what the Guitar Band has learned and plays as a prelude to the service. Her hope is\nto familiarize worshipers with new songs\/hymns.\n\nThere being no further business, the meeting was closed with prayer by Pastor Kevin. The next\nmeeting of the Worship Team is scheduled for Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at 6:30 p.m.<\/b>\n\nRespectfully submitted, Margaret Kohl, Recording Secretary<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
