· Council members got to meet and interview the candidate for the Director of Youth and Family Ministries position. It was decided that he will next meet with other church groups, such as the Christian Education Committee, for their input. We will continue to have him meet with others, and any new resumes that come in to us will also be reviewed for suitability. A small task force was named to move this forward.
· It was noted that Feed My Starving Children funding is going well and we should be able to fully fund the event this year.
· Family Promise will be here in March and more volunteers are needed.
· The Stewardship committee reported that 99% of pledges for 2016 have been fulfilled.
· Containers are now available for people to use to fill our freezer with food. Anyone can pick them up, fill them and return to the freezer. The frozen meals are then available to anyone in need.
· In honor of Kay Beagle, the closet in the CEB where Family Promise supplies are kept will be named “Kay’s Closet”.
· In recognition of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, more intentional activities will be planned to celebrate and discuss Martin Luther and the Lutheran faith.
· Rick Schroeder has agreed to be a ‘point person’ for the CEB to look at usage, costs, and policies.
· This month’s thanks go to:
* Sean Dalgauer for playing the bagpipes on Christmas Eve.
* Janet Hornich for the Christmas Eve luminaries.
* The volunteers who changed all the light bulbs at the CEB.
The next meeting of the Church Council will be on February 23rd.
