FROM THE PRESIDENT

“The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts;

and though all its parts are many, they form one body."

I Corinthians 12:12

During the congregational meeting after the Sunday service April 19, church members elected new Council

members for the next two years beginning June 1. As we accept these positions, we are reminded in Acts 20:28

"Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to

care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood."

All of us as individual members of Immanuel Lutheran Church are called to work within the Lord's ministry,

regardless of whether we are elected to a position or not. I Corinthians 12:12-14 provides each of us with

guidance to who we are "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body,

so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body - whether Jews or Gentiles,

slave or free - and we wer all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of

many." All members should find ways to utilize their time and talents to serve in our ministry.

At the meeting, the new Board Directors who were elected are the following; Georg Cleverly, Education; Walt

Schneider, Property Interim; Elsie Kroussakis, Stewardship; and Jon Rolfe, Youth. Elected to a second term

were Barbara Schneider, Fellowship and Kelly Snyder, Lay Minstry. Although not elected at this meeting,

those beginning the second year of their first term are Carol Berridge, Evangelism; Vice-President Luther Stene,

Treasurer Joy Weiss, Secretary Denise Letcher, and President Larry Moehnke.

Also serving as assistants are: Esther Binkley, Evangelism; Linda Blomquist, Fellowship; Brent Daude,

Property; Rebecca Latham, Stewardship; Carrie Rolfe and Cate Berridge, Youth. Assistans are still needed

for Education and Lay Ministry.

Please consider serving on any of our Boards as one of its members or in some other capacity to support our

ministry. All of us make up the Church as one body.

Your Friend in Christ,

Larry Moehnke, Council President
