BOARD OF GOVERNANCE October 18, 2012 Present: Barbara Adams, Sarah Anderson, Darlene Goldhammer, Jeff Jensen, Lee Strom, Elder Dave Mueller Barbara Adams presented "Keep Moving Forward," a devotion based on Acts 17:28. "Keep Moving Forward." Do you remember receiving your first bicycle? For many it was difficult to keep the bicycle upright and moving forward, but with the help of family and friends you did eventually manage to do just that. So it is with our Christian life. We never reach a point where we can stop moving forward; our personal relationship with the Lord does not reach a point where we can just "sit on the bicycle." "For in Him we live and move and are." Acts 17:28. The devotion was followed with prayer by all present. Minutes of the last meeting were confirmed by email. BOG then reviewed school information previously provided by Principal Fred Brauer. Frank Mitchell is in charge of email information for the school; the Marketing Committee has sent another mailing to the immediate area. Dave Mueller presented a report from the Board of Elders. They will confirm with Pastor Lu that he will continue to serve through the Christmas season. Each of the elders has been assigned to a school classroom to assist families with needs and to reach out to unchurched families. Elders will also follow up on eprayers and quilt requests. Pastor Gary Mohr will be serving our congregation on October 28 while Pastor Lu is on vacation. Barbara presented an update on the Beautification Committee and the Youth Committee. Our Direct Missions budget for last year has been paid. We will now be requesting suggestions from the congregation on how to distribute the $10,000 contribution we make each year for Direct Missions. An elder will read Pastor Kelly Smith's letter to the congregation on Sunday 21. Pastor and Pam will live in the parsonage so the current lease will end December 14. The date for Pastor Smith's installation has not been confirmed, but it will be in early January. All the pastors in the area will be invited. We continue to seek candidates for BOG. Next meeting will be Thursday, November 15. Jeff Jensen closed in prayer Darlene Goldhammer BOG Secretary ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
