THIS SUNDAY: Annual Meeting

Pastor Erik, Ordinary Time
The Annual Meeting is an important event in the life of the congregation.  It's a chance for us to celebrate our accomplishments over the past year, to share our vision for the year ahead, and to thank God for the mission and ministry entrusted to us as a congregation.
 
There are important decisions to be made at each Annual Meeting as well.  We decide as a congregation who will lead our community on the Church Council, who will represent us at the Synod Assembly.  We review, possibly revise, and adopt a budget to guide our work in the coming year.

For all of these reasons, we ask that each of you plan on attending this year's Annual Meeting, which will take place in Haberland Hall immediately following worship this Sunday, January 27, 2013.  As we continue our growth and redevelopment, we need everybody's presence, participation and prayer!
 
With thanks,
Pastor Erik
