"Rejoicing in Christ, Empowered to Serve."
May 2018 - A letter to the congregation of St. Matthews
St. Matthews Church Council met on Tuesday April 10th. The meeting Agenda is posted on the board in the hallway and the meeting minutes will be posted soon. Judith Van Osdol (Rocky Mountain Synod DEM) attended the meeting and discussed “Stewardship for All Seasons”. This is a program St. Matthews will be going through with the Stewardship Ministry and Church Council. Thanks to a Lilly grant, most of the cost ($2,900) will be waived! Special thanks to Rocky Mountain Synod and to Judith for making this possible for our congregation. We are so blessed to have this opportunity to participate in the SAS program to us to help with our stewardship development.
Council approved recommendations from the Nominating Committee for new council members. Thanks to Harlan Bengtson, Erich Thaemert, Tracy Dewey and Leandra Ludlam for volunteering to run for Church Council. I was also approved to be on the ballet for a one year term. Voting for new Council members will be at the Semi-Annual Congregational meeting on May 20th.
On the Council Agenda was a request to approve Josh Hatch as a new member. It was approved and Josh joined St. Matthews on April 15th. Please congratulate Josh and welcome him into the family of St. Matthews!
Karla attended Council as a representative of the Redevelopment Ministry and presented St. Matthews new Mission Statement. The Redevelopment Ministry has spent a lot of time, bible study and prayer on creating a new mission statement for St. Matthews. They will present and discuss the mission statement at the May 20th Congregation meeting. This is a great accomplishment for the people of St. Matthews! Part of redevelopment is to determine where God is calling us. Our mission statement will help us to make sure we are always following God’s plan for St. Matthews.
May 6th is “Everyone come to church Sunday”! I hope to see you all there!
We are Christ Church, Better Together!
