Voters Meeting Summary
|
The congregation's voters met on the evening of January 12. Two spending resolutions were brought forward and approved. One to increase reserves for our mortgage payment for the next 3 years, and another to bolster the general fund with unused ERTC funds (federal government COVID relief money).
Cindy Furling was re-elected to chair Property Management, Rick Koopman as member-at-large to the Administrative board, Scott Anderson to head the Stewardship Board, and Sara Schlichting to lead the strategic plan committee. Micky Reed, Joshua White, Brandon Williams, Matt Hudacek, and Alex Evans were all elected as Elders. Reports were also heard from various boards.
We still have a few vacant board positions, and three others where the current chair is looking for a replacement. If you feel called to serve as a leader at Trinity please contact President John Boehme at 217-414-0915, or find me in the narthex prior to the 8:00am service.

Thank you to the pastors of the Springfield circuit for participating in the ordination service. Also, thank you to Women with Mission for providing the delicious desserts afterwards.

Woodcutter's Retreat at Camp CILCA

Saint Paul admonishes the Christians of Corinth to "act like men." Cutting trees, splitting wood, fellowship with other men, good food, and time in God's Word are all great ways to get started in this endeavor. You do not have to be skilled in using a chainsaw, hammer, or tractor to come to this event. Strong backs and eager hands are just as helpful.The study sessions will cover topics relevant to men navigating life in the modern age.The suggested donation for overnight is $25 ($10 for Saturday only). To register, fill out the registration form. Please let us know you are coming so we can prepare the meals. Chainsaws and log splitters are welcome! Questions?
