ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING  

Please plan to remain after the church service on Nov. 15 for the annual congregational meeting.  It is important that all members of St. Johannes have input both in the approval of the annual budget and the election of three new council members.   As you will note from the insert in this newsletter, the Finance Committee worked hard to present a budget to council and the congregation that is actually below the one approved last year. That was accomplished by looking closely at the actual and projected expenses for the remainder of the year and cutting back on a number of items.  The committee and council felt it important the budget more realistically reflect the pledge s we receive.  It is also vital that our pledges come closer to the amount anticipated in our very conservative budget.

 

Nominations for Church Council  

It’s also time for the election of three new members of our nine-member council, which is chosen on a staggered term basis for three-year terms. Nominees are Laura Johnson, Kay Winnett and Susan Crocker. Nominations also may be made from the floor.
