TLC Council

Trinity Lutheran Church Council

From Samantha Ramsey- Congregational President

Blessings Trinity Lutheran Church!

While the summer months of June, July and August are normally considered “quiet” times for TLC, this summer is VERY different. TLC, the council and the TLC Learning Center have been very busy! As stated in Proverbs 28:19, “He who works his land will have abundant food.” TLC is producing meals! The extensive work recently accomplished by our Church is demonstrated by the following:

· Installed new pew cushions! Thank you Bob and Lee Ray for your generous giving!

· Hired a new director for the learning center. Welcome Debbie Pearce! You have had a long service to TLC and we are grateful to have you lead the learning center!

· Hired Interim Youth Director. Welcome Tammi Payton! We are excited to have your continued and enhanced involvement with our youth!

. Established a vision committee. Thank you Sue Thilo for chairing this committee and for the commitment of all members: Gavin Weiss, Mike Grabenstein, Kay Nelson, Shannon Erwin, Darin Payton and Pastor Ann!

· Established a task force to review the constitution, bylaws, and the church’s organization chart. Thank you Jerry Anderson, Jovanna Tanzey and Clarie Kuball.

· Established an interim pastor committee. Thank you Sandy Patano, Toni Wilson, Grant MacLean, Clarie Kuball, Pastor Eric Ranum, Charles Kramer and Margaret Fedje.

· Scheduled a quarterly all-committee meeting for September. This is an exciting time for all committees to meet at the same time!

While TLC has been working very hard to accomplish a number of tasks, there still is much more work to be done. Here are a few things we are currently working on:

· Updating media equipment in the church

· Updating the church directory and gathering email contacts from the congregation

· Scheduling an audit

· Integrating a “support of TLC” Facebook page

· Planting trees in the green space in the parking lot

· Updating the safety and procedures policies

· Updating the Sunday School curriculum

Wow! So much is happening at TLC. We are truly blessed to have the support, enthusiasm, and faithfulness of so many members.

Thank you!

Blessings,

Samantha Ramsey
