Genesee Lutheran Parish Church Council Minutes
May 14, 2013
In attendance:
Pastor Dave, Gayle Rossebo, Patrick Adams, Amy Peterson, Jennifer Parkins, Susan Riggs, Doug Cartwright, Linda Chilson

Amy did devotion on Stewardship.

Doug reported on buildings and plans. They are planning on weed & feeding the lawns. There was a discussion on replacing the steps at St John’s.

Pastor’s report-
First Gospel group was at Patrick’s house, he found this to be very helpful. Theology on Tap went great. Youth will be attending the new Star Trek movie on the 16th.
He will be gone some Sundays this summer so will be looking for people to help with services.
First Sunday in June church will begin at 9:30 through the summer at Valley Lutheran.
Pastor hired a couple of kids to mow the lawn at St John’s.
Rosanna asked to use the Fellowship Hall at St John’s on May 25th for graduation party, this was okayed by the council.
Ole suggested recycling the can to get the youth a soda maker. Pastor donated a buffet warmer.
June 9th there will be a showing of the Sunday School movies.
Pastor gave a report on Synod conference and came back with some ideas for Stewardship.
This summer we will be getting some books and dvds by Mark Allen Powel for the council to pass around to read and watch to help us come with how we want to handle it here at Genesee. When we come back in September we will discuss what we have gotten from the books and dvds.
There is going to be a workshop on Stewardship at Moscow Emmanuel Lutheran, will get more details on that for us.
Pastor is going to be working on having church’s from our cluster doing some things together. The first one he would really like to work on is inviting them to attend and be involved in Rock-N-Roll Sunday in September.
Another is to have a Good News Evangelism workshop on some of the things we do differently here and that seems to be working. ie: Theology On Tap.
One Celebration Sunday we may have a bus for us to go to another Church in the Cluster and celebrate with them.


Next meeting will be in September.
