Council Minutes from April 2013

Genesee Lutheran Parish Church Council Minutes
April 9, 2013
In Attendance:
Patrick Adams, Susan Rigg, Courtney Sharnhorst, Amy Peterson, Jennifer Parkins, Linda Chilson, Gayle Rossebo, Dan Carter, and Pastor David Deckard

Amy will do devotional next month.

Susan went over the Budget report and let us know she will transferring one of the CD’s into the general fund.

We discussed what is going to happen with Vacation Bible School this year, there was someone who was going to coordinate it but she had to back out due to other obligations.  The theme this year is Code of Armor. Pastor Dave felt as long as we could get people to help out he could come up with a plan so that we will have VBS. He will report back on how he is progressing with that.

We moved on into the Pastors report-
Pastor reported on how well Easter services went and thanked everyone for helping with services and music.
There will be a monthly meeting with any Parishioners that would like to come help work on sermon ideas for the month.  
Pentecost Sunday is May 19th and would like ideas on how we want to celebrate it this year.
Services move out to the Valley Church May 5th and will continue at 10 through May and change to 9:30 in June. The 28th of April is the last day for Sunday School for this year.
On Saturday soon he would like to get people to come help clean up the yard and take down lights at St John’s.
We need to come up with guidelines for how the church will help with funeral services and meals. Susan said she will help organize meals unless anyone else wants to do it. We do need to get names and phone numbers of people who are willing to help out with the meals.

Next month we will work on our Mission Statement
