Dear friends , 


It was the 200th Steering Committee plan to have our 200th Congregational Church of Laconia History Book to you during our 200th year. 

This is not going to happen due to a glitch with our publisher. 

The book will happen, however the date of delivery is to be determined.

We know many of you have preordered the book. If you would like to continue to be on the pre-order list , you don’t have to do anything. However if you would like to have your money returned, please contact Carolyn Jorgensen. 

We are sorry and sad that we have to delay the delivery of the book, and look forward to celebrating the books arrival with a book launch celebration!


The 200th Celebration Steering Committee. 

 Budget Discussion During Coffee Hour January 19th


The Treasurer will do a Presentation of the upcoming budget for 2025 on Sunday, January 19th after church and during coffee hour.


Information will be provided for those attending. This will include a spreadsheet for 2024 and a separate one for 2025.


This is for information and discussion on our 2025 Budget as well as how our 2024 Budget has played out.


By this time 2024 will be complete with December 2024 numbers.


Thank you 

Hollis Thompson

Treasurer

The Nominating Committee is currently working to fill positions of all standing committees in the church.

The good news is there is a strong group of people who continue to serve, but there are still several opportunities for others to join.  

Right now there are openings in Diaconate, Educational Ministry, & Outreach Committee. And a golden opportunity for a Vice-Moderator. 


And if you are not always in the area or don't like going out to a meeting, not to worry: every group, anytime is happy to have you join via Zoom wherever you may be.

As quoted, "Being a member of this church is not a spectator sport." Jump in!
