The congregation elected a great group of people to the council and I look forward to the opportunities that this year has to offer.

The council started off with a mini-retreat held Friday, Feb 11th at the

Augustana Health Center. Thank you to Pastor Dale for organizing the event and Trude Dale and Nina Boe for preparing a delicious meal. We enjoyed getting to know each other better and learning the in’s and out’s of how the council operates. And of course, everyone’s favorite – Robert’s Rules of Order!

Our first accomplishment – each Council member was given a newly written ‘Council Handbook’. The handbook is an effort to better define our duties and responsibilities.

Council members will serve as point persons to church committees – providing guidance and an important link to the Council.

Committees bring together the talent and skills of many people and provide a valuable service to Mindekirken – many times a fun and interesting experience!

If asked to serve on one of these committees, please give it your thoughtful consideration.

Cindy Peters, President
