Some sports are winding down, so our attendance is up a bit to an average of 25-30 kids. We are at the tail end of our candy bar sales which is fantastic because I am fundraiser-ed out. We are in the home stretch of school which means the kids will get a little more rambunctious so I am very much looking forward to the nice weather coming our way. I think it will be fun to have some outdoor worship coming up in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n Mission trip is right around the corner so I will be busy at work getting all those ducks in a row including final paperwork, payments and reaching out to host site for details. Lots of organization!!!<\/p>\n In the next coming months, I am planning some off campus activities for the entire group so they all have time to grow together a bit more before the summer comes.<\/p>\n We will also be busy at work filling Easter eggs this week and in the weeks to follow leading up to Easter. The youth are always such a tremendous help with this huge undertaking.<\/p>\n Thank you all for your support and prayers for the youth!<\/p>\n God is good!!!\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, Amy noted that projects will be on hold during Lent.\u00a0 Confirmation is coming up too.\u00a0 There are also some bonding events coming up.<\/p>\n Deb asked about Easter Brunch.\u00a0 Amy was unaware of youth helping.\u00a0 Council will host and serve.\u00a0 Youth would be runners and assist with clean-up. Amy will discuss this opportunity with the youth. Pastor will talk to Karen Zwicky about getting meat and eggs.\u00a0 Sign up sheets need to get posted for food donations. Amy will type up something for the bulletin to start announcing the event.<\/p>\n Wayne asked Amy about funds for the mission trip.\u00a0 She needs to get an update from Doris.\u00a0 She is concerned about the cost of gas.\u00a0 Amy said that there are still payments from kids coming in.\u00a0 She\u2019ll have a better idea once those come in.\u00a0 She thinks they may not need much in the way of additional funds this year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n –Buildings and Grounds:<\/strong> Jan.\u00a0 \u201cB&G Update:\u00a0 The below info was obtained from Ben Manning, chairperson.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Council:\u00a0 I see use of building\/narthex is on the agenda.\u00a0 I will attach the policy\/SOP written on this.\u00a0 It was last updated in 2014 and I believe we should use it as a base for whatever the issue is and update the policy accordingly.\u00a0 Why re-invent the wheel? Though I believe the process was tweaked to comply with Covid and perhaps those can be changed back.\u00a0 I was not appraised on what if any actual changes were made to the policy or the form.\u00a0 I will also attach the form that users are to sign.\u00a0 Unsure if this is still used — someone please check with Ellen or Gail.<\/p>\n Hopefully see you all on Zoom.\u201d<\/p>\n Wayne said that he is very thankful for a donation to replace the blinds.\u00a0 Jan will work on additional quotes for blinds when she gets back.\u00a0 Deb added that it may be easier to get quotes since the project is more immediate now.\u00a0 Jan will tell Brad\/B&G that blinds will get replaced in the next few months due to anonymous donation from congregation (and not to worry about temporary fixes). \u00a0In a follow-up email from Deb Ruedinger on March 16, it can be confirmed that Debbie and Phil Ruedinger gifted shares of stock to Lord of the Lakes to be used to pay for the binds.\u00a0 Any remaining balance is to be transferred to the Lord of the Lakes Church Operations Account for 2022 expenses.<\/p>\n Pastor Kevin discussed the new router that was installed.\u00a0 Gail knows the details on the existing contracts, but Pastor Kevin feels that we\u2019ve been with them so long that we will be able to terminate without issue.<\/p>\n –Treasurer’s Report:<\/strong> Apryl<\/p>\n \u201cLord of the Lakes Council Meeting Financial Notes<\/strong> (report submitted via email by Doris C. Kreuziger, Financial Clerk)<\/p>\n The Operating Budget Total Net Deficit YTD as of February 2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ($9,302)<\/p>\n The Operating Budget Total Net Deficit for Month of February 2022 ($5,567)<\/p>\n Total Cash in Operating Checking Account as of February 2022 is $88,624.34<\/p>\n Total Cash in Designated Fund Checking Account as of February 2022 is $85,831.69<\/p>\n (this includes the $29,500.00 in Holding)<\/p>\n Total in Fortifi Investment Account as of December 2021 is $25,525.78<\/p>\n Operating Budget Explanation:<\/p>\n Our YTD income for Church Operations is lower than budgeted by ($8,095).\u00a0 Our Regular Envelope\/Vanco\/Credit Card giving is lower than budgeted by ($8,099) our Loose Offering is higher than budget by $70.<\/p>\n We received Scrip proceeds as of February 2022 $1,000 of our Fiscal Year.<\/p>\n Summary<\/p>\n We did budget for a ($5,310) Deficit YTD and our Actual Deficit YTD is ($9,302)\u201d<\/p>\n Apryl noted that the YTD income is lower than the budgeted amount by about $8100.00.\u00a0 She is concerned about being down the first couple months of the year.\u00a0 Wayne added that attendance is going up, but finances\/giving appear to be down.<\/p>\n Council agreed that offering plate should begin being passed around again.\u00a0 Many forget that it\u2019s there and new members\/visitors don\u2019t know where it is (so they may not be giving).\u00a0 Wayne stated that attendance is back to pre-covid levels.\u00a0 Wayne will write up a new offering message for the bulletin.\u00a0 We will begin passing the offering plates this Sunday.\u00a0 Ellen and Jody will need to know about this for the bulletin and to plan for music.\u00a0 Volunteers came forward to help with facilitating passing the offering plates.<\/p>\n Apryl said that if people can sign up for available weeks instead of committing to an entire month at a time, we may be able to get more volunteers to usher.\u00a0 For example, her husband and son will usher, but just can\u2019t commit for month long chunks of time.\u00a0 They could sign up for available weeks.\u00a0 Deb is working on volunteers\/time & talents.\u00a0 She will see what we can do to improve scheduling for volunteers..<\/p>\n Amy asked if the copier purchase is included as part of the deficit.\u00a0 Apryl said that it was budgeted, so it was not.<\/p>\n –Stewardship\/Sign Update:<\/strong> Wayne.\u00a0 \u201cThe fundraiser for the new sign exceeded our $22,700 goal by $4,000!\u00a0 Thirty very generous members of the congregation donated $26,995.<\/p>\n A check for half the sign balance has been sent to Creative Sign Company along with the contract. We are now on schedule for a May installation.<\/p>\n We are so blessed.\u201d<\/p>\n Wayne shared that we beat or goal for donations by over $4000.\u00a0 He passed out an example of a thank you sign\/poster for those who gave donations.<\/p>\n Jan inquired about a motion made at the December council meeting which indicated that anything received, over and above the cost of the sign, was to go to debt reduction.\u00a0 Wayne said that he feels that those who donated for the sign should have their donation go directly toward funding the sign.<\/p>\n Apryl made a motion that all donations received for the new sign go toward the sign.\u00a0 Therefore, the amount the church needs to pay will be reduced.\u00a0 Sarah Miller seconded.\u00a0 Approved.<\/p>\n Wayne said that the Synod decided if people donate to Ukrainian refugees, they will match 50%.\u00a0 Ellen asked him if she should put in bulletin\/newsletter.\u00a0 Council decided that this can be added.\u00a0 Wayne will get this done.\u00a0 He also added that if we had the website done, we could have a donation page.<\/p>\n –Communication: <\/strong>Sarah.\u00a0 \u201cKim has taken over and is doing a good job.\u00a0 400 people are \u201cfollowing\u201d on Facebook.\u00a0 A few people are still watching YouTube videos of the\u00a0 sermon (20-30 people on average).\u00a0 Wayne & Sarah will get together regarding the web page.<\/p>\n Wayne asked if the videos should be mentioned in the newsletter as a reminder that they are still being posted on YouTube.<\/p>\n Sarah reminded council that an email update for member still needs to get done (to receive weekly emails etc.).\u00a0 Deb will check returned time and talents sheets against what the office has on file for members.<\/p>\n Wayne added that in regards to the Time &Talents sheets, we need to stress that even if you\u2019re not volunteering for anything, please fill them out to update your information.\u00a0 Pastor Kevin feels that we should wait to announce the Time & Talents sheets again (wait a few weeks since the next 2 weeks are spring break).<\/p>\n Wayne asked where info from the Time &Talets sheets gets recorded.\u00a0 Deb said that the office puts the info in ICON.\u00a0 Deb is also creating her own spreadsheets.\u00a0 Sarah asked how individual teams will get info if they request it. Deb said that she will get\u00a0 the info to each team, so they will know who has signed up.<\/p>\n Deb did get a few new volunteers and ideas for things they\u2019re interested in.\u00a0 She is going to keep working on this project.<\/p>\n –Volunteerism: <\/strong>Debbie.\u00a0 \u201cWe started the Time and Talents campaign this past Sunday and 67 surveys were handed in that day, the bulk coming from the 10 AM service. We had three follow up phone calls Monday morning and that is encouraging. We do have a few new names which is also promising.<\/p>\n \u200bWe continue to have the biggest challenge with getting Ushers. When the schedule was developed for this time period, it may have been done without individual consultation and without reference to their preferred service time. Out of 67 responses, 15 committed to \u201cUshering\u201d.\u00a0 For a four month cycle, we need 32 warm bodies!\u00a0 Most of the volunteers were from the 10 AM service slot. Most people I have talked to about this particular service do not want to commit to 4 weeks\/1 month at a time. This team will require the most effort.<\/p>\n \u200bPresently, I have a few folks who have faithfully stepped in and served as Readers as well as Communion Assistants and have offered to do more if needed. Greeters should be okay \u2013 we just need to work on getting them there earlier, prior to the start of the service and in some cases we need to work on those smiles!<\/p>\n \u200bJust from a short time working with these committees, I can see that sending out schedules 4 months in advance will require follow up phone calls as reminders when their time is near. I am optimistic that this will all work out and eventually run smoothly again as it did at times in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n –Worship Team:<\/strong> Pam.\u00a0 The team is only meeting quarterly, so there is no new update.<\/p>\n Pastor Kevin noted that the mid-week service was fantastic.\u00a0 Ash Wednesday was very well attended.<\/p>\n Pam asked about the reason for pew pads because she had people asking her about them.\u00a0 Pastor Kevin said that people put their prayer requests in there and it also lets us know who is attending.\u00a0 Many people do check items and we do follow up on them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New Business<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>– Annual Meeting:<\/strong> recap and suggestions<\/p>\n Should we have next year’s event between services to boost attendance?<\/p>\n Wayne felt that it was a successful meeting, but not very well attended.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a 30 minute meeting with no lunch. He suggested holding it between services?\u00a0 Pastor Kevin said that the recap meeting (with final End of Year info) can be, but the budget meeting in November needs to be separate\/after second service because it can be longer, and there is voting at that one.<\/p>\n John Macho made a motion to have the Annual Meeting between services to improve attendance.\u00a0 Pam Ulness seconded.<\/p>\n Kristen added that those with commitments between services may have to try to make other arrangements in order to be there (example:\u00a0 teaching Sunday school or working with Youth).<\/p>\n – Offering plate & other service protocols<\/strong><\/p>\n Anything Covid protocols we should roll back now that that we are mostly post Covid?<\/p>\n Amy said \u201cpassing\/sharing the peace.\u201d\u00a0 She misses that part of service.<\/p>\n Kristen & Apryl said that they are not big fans of it regardless, so were in no hurry to see that one return. Pastor Kevin added that for some people, this may be the only physical contact they get with people during the week.\u00a0 He would like to hold off during cold\/flu season, and when sickness is going around.\u00a0 He also does not feel that just turning to your neighbor to SAY \u201cPeace be with you,\u201d is enough.<\/p>\n Sarah noted that some people are still not going up for communion, so they may not yet feel comfortable with passing the peace.\u00a0 Apryl said that we wouldn\u2019t want to have people avoid coming to church because they\u2019re not comfortable with what we\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n Jan added that Prince of Peace in Appleton JUST opened their church back up.<\/p>\n Wayne noted that communion is going fine.\u00a0 More people seem to be going up now.\u00a0 He asked if we should switch the order that communion is done.\u00a0 Pastor Kevin said that this may be difficult to change right now.<\/p>\n – Narthex use policy<\/strong><\/p>\n For worship days and other days<\/p>\n Wayne had a question about craft sales and other \u201cfor profit\u201d things going on.\u00a0 He wonders if those things are appropriate on worship days.\u00a0 Pastor Kevin said it\u2019s usually best to approach with a \u201cyes, but\u201d response in order to limit time\/amount of things going on.\u00a0 Wayne suggested that those who sell on worship days donate a percentage of the profit, so that it comes back to the church (example:\u00a0 additional funds for Youth).<\/p>\n Jan added that when craft fairs were done at the church in the past, they stopped coming when a sliding scale for building use was put in place.<\/p>\n Amy noted that the vendors who came for the fall fest, did give a portion to the youth as it was a fundraiser.<\/p>\n If others ask about setting up a table\/sales during worship, the council will need to revisit this conversation.<\/p>\n -Good Neighbor Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>John updated council that the good neighbor teams were given a list of things they will need to supply for each family (for their house). There is an April\/May time frame for families to come.\u00a0 Most items can be from thrift stores (these are the big things, and these items are being donated).\u00a0 Some things need to be purchased (cleaning\/household supplies).\u00a0 Can we put up something like we do at Christmas (like ornament tree for donations needed).\u00a0 Pastor Kevin and Wayne agreed that, at this time, money to purchase these items can come out of the Good Sam fund.<\/p>\n Pastor Kevin noted that if this is ongoing, then we can do Christmas in July\/Christmas shopping and add necessary items to that.<\/p>\n – Office space. <\/strong>\u00a0Wayne said that Amy brought it to his attention that her office gets crowded a few days every week.\u00a0 She is looking for space that is more her own.\u00a0 Amy meets with kids and does some study with kids (and sometimes their parents) in her office.\u00a0 It feels a little less professional\u00a0 to meet on benches in the youth room.\u00a0 She suggested converting the nursery into an office.<\/p>\n Wayne feels that the nursery is a little too removed from the office complex.<\/p>\n Jan suggested moving the nursery out to the gathering area, so that maybe those using it would still feel a part of the service.<\/p>\n Sarah reminded that the current nursery has speakers for parents to still listen to the\u00a0 service.<\/p>\n Wayne asked the council to try to think of other options, so that Amy\u00a0 can get a dedicated office.<\/p>\n Closing prayer:\u00a0 Pastor Kevin<\/p>\n Adjourn<\/p>\n Next Meeting:\u00a0 April 19, 2022 at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Council Meeting Minutes\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 March 15, 2022 Council members present:\u00a0 Pastor Kevin Heffernan, Sarah Miller, Amy Penza, Pam Ulness, Apryl Brantley, Deb Ruedinger, Wayne Ludkey, Kristen Bjornstad, Jan Olson (via Zoom) and John Macho.
