Congregational Meeting
Abbreviated Minutes

On September 17, 2007 the Church Council meeting opened with a devotional and prayer from Betty Wood. Members in attendance were Fran Lanphier, Dick Kling, Barry Dunne, Lois Flurschutz, Jim Helms, Kay McCulloch, Betty Wood and Cathy Farwell. Elders reported that they are currently working on reorganizing the ushers. Dick Kling reported that after the sauerkraut is cut we are going to work on converting the old store room into a nice new area for our Youth Group. Also our President wanted to remind us that elections are coming up on November 25th. Daycare is going to send two representatives to a convention in Hershey, PA in the near future as well. And finally, Betty Wood is beginning a new bible Study entitled "How to make your kids mind without losing yours" and says everyone is welcome to attend.

The complete minutes and all committee reports are available in the church office.

Ladies Aid

Although the attendance was light, many issues were discussed.
Marge Vossler was pleased with the results of the fundraisers. About $1,000 was given to Daycare towards the playground. About $3,000 was raised toward our effort to help Cheryl Young. These funds were supplemented by Thrivent. Cheryl also had her choice of a lovely quilt.

President June asked for extra help to work the sauerkraut supper. Secretary Sally sent out eleven letters to recruit more workers for both the cabbage cutting and the dinner.

Also, as in previous years we issued a plea to the congregation to make apple pies for the event. Thanks in advance.

Decisions were made for dispersing of our funds, including $500 toward church utilities & to daycare. Shelly Dunne thanked the ladies for working the Heysham funeral luncheon.

We closed with the Lords Prayer. Next month's meeting will be November 13th due to the sauerkraut supper.

Respectfully submitted,
Sally Dannheim, Secretary
