Please plan to attend the 64th Annual Meeting of The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Our meeting will be held following worship on Sunday, January 30.
A copy of the Annual Report was mailed to all eligible voting members last week. In this report you’ll find updates on our many ministries as well as our proposed budget for 2021. Please take some time to review the report in advance.
While everyone is welcome to share your thoughts and ideas at any of our meetings, only voting members are eligible to cast a vote or run for office. To be a voting member you must:
- Be a confirmed member of The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
- Have made a financial contribution to the congregation in 2022 or 2021
- Have received communion in 2022 or 2021.
If you’re not sure if you meet the requirements, check with us in the office and we’ll help you out.
The meeting will again be held in person and on Zoom. If you are attending online, please simply attend worship using Zoom, and then stay for the meeting – you won’t need to do anything more to participate. (You can also phone in – visit our website or call the church office for instructions.) We will also be opening the sanctuary for fully vaccinated members to attend worship and the annual meeting. Social distancing will be required. Please contact the church office to register in advance if you will be joining us in person.
Finally, please pay special attention to the report from the council entitled “Beyond the Centennial Plan.” This will provide you with an important update on the council’s work in the two years since we adopted the Centennial Plan. It names the challenges we’ve faced and outlines a number of unexpected opportunities that God has opened up for us. We will devote a significant portion of the annual meeting to your thoughts and hopes and questions about this report.
Thank you for your partnership in the work of Jesus here in Monroeville! We look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting on January 30!
