Thanks to all who participated in our first ever Annual Congregation Meeting held on Zoom! We were blessed to be able to conduct the business of the meeting with over 40 members participating either in person or on Zoom.
A few highlights from the meeting were:
- Approval of the 2021 Budget for Good Shepherd.
- Election of two new members to the Congregation Council – Carrie Pugliano and Matt O’Donnell.
- Election of two delegates for the 2021 Synod Assembly which will be held on Zoom in June.
- Announcement of a Stewardship Campaign that will begin in the next few weeks.
- Update from the Committees of the church on 2020 activities and plans for 2021.
- Thanks were given for our church staff and the many members who do so much in the life of the church.
This will be a very important year for the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church as we continue to navigate church life during a pandemic, focusing on the needs of our members and our communities. We will also continue to focus on the sale of portions of our property for long term viability of our ministries. And in all things, we continue to thank God for the blessings that he has given to us as individuals and as a community of faith working together to love and serve as he has called us to do.
