INSIDE THIS EDITION:
From the Pastor…
A Change of Pace
The seasons offer a change of pace. I interned in
In this part of God’s creation seasons are obviously very
discernable. The changing seasons
dictates different activities, different life style, different moods and
themes. Summer certainly suggests a
different pace – warmer weather, children out of school, a primary season in
which to vacation. In
Churches adapt to that changing cultural pattern. Many churches cut back their services. Like many, we resort (no pun intended) to one liturgy at 9 AM. Some faces we probably will not see until next fall.
The question it raises is what happens to individual and families worship practices during that seasonal interlude? Some will worship in the area of their cabin, or visit a church in the area they are vacationing. Others will simply view it as all or a large part of the summer off.
Worship is a discipline. As any discipline, its regularity is important. Obviously God does not take a break from showering us with blessings. Thankfulness is at the root of worship. For these reasons we offer you an alternative. We have decided to provide a mid-week worship service this summer. Beginning June 16 we invite especially those who are elsewhere on Sundays to worship on Wednesdays. It will be in the East Lounge, shorter and a change in style.
Summer Mid-week Worship
East Lounge – 6:00 PM
With
A Light Meal
This change of pace is not eliminating worship. It is providing another alternative time and style where that is desired and needed due to summer schedules. If you can and desire to offer musical skills, let us know.

The Bullhead Queen by Sue Leaf contains a series of
meditations set within the framework of the church’s liturgical year. These writings explore the moral aspect of
humans to nature through experiences she has at her home on
A nominee for the Minnesota Book Awards, this book is a thoughtful, well-balanced reflection on the advances of our modern life that we would not want to live without, but also of the costs to the natural world of our lifestyle.

Our Giving for God’s
Work
We at Immanuel have been doing well for the first five months of 2010 in terms of financial giving in support of God’s work in and through our congregation and through other groups and ministries that we help to support. THANK YOU to all who have contributed not only financially but also of your time and talents.
Now comes the CHALLENGE. During the summer many of us are gone for one or more weeks and for several weekends. In the past there has been a “summer slump” in giving (of our time as well as our wealth). Yet the work of God still goes on and still needs our support and participation.
We ask that you PRAY about your giving in light of your faith in Christ, as one of his followers – or disciples and then decide how you will be faithful over the summer months.
To help all of us, when we change the worship schedule for the summer, as of Sunday, May 30th, to have one service on Sundays at 9:00 a.m., we also will add a worship service on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m., beginning on June 16th. We hope that this will help all of us to be faithful stewards of all that God continually gives us.
THANK YOU again for your faithful support of God’s work in and through our congregation.
In Christ’s service,
Your Stewardship Committee

Wangensteen.
Absent: Jan Johnshoy

- Pastor’s Reports
- VIBE is eliminating staff as of May due to
finances. Programming will
continue through the summer.
Discussion of the implications to ILC.
i.
VIBE
provides: Social outlet one activity per
month. Confirmation enrichment on one
Sunday per month.
ii.
Funding is
budgeted through the end of the year.
iii.
This could affect
ILC staffing structure.
iv.
Decisions on hold
pending results of VIBE board meeting tonight.
- ILC staffing was discussed. The Exec Committee which becomes the
Personnel Committee has begun discussions about staffing.
i.
Pr. Pera to
perform staffing annual reviews.
ii.
Exec Committee to
study and recommendations are to be brought to Council.
- Easter Service comments have started discussion
within Worship and Music Committee about having 2 services on Easter
Sunday and an Easter vigil.
- Summer Services:
Typically go down to one service at 9:00 on Sunday. Discussion about a second Sunday
service at a Different time? Different day? Different type?
- Committee Reports
- Education and Literature presented by Peg
Wagensteen
i.
Confirmation: Program content and frequency every
week? Confirmation project instead of
Credo? This year confirmation is May 2nd. Confirmation instruction will continue after
confirmation.
ii.
Confirmation
staffing for 2010/2011 is a struggle:
Matt is now available for call, and his availability to cover
confirmation is unknown. Budget is for
the next 9 months. E&L to propose a
range of staffing options and the costs of them. Finance and Exec. to review. Continuity of staff so that relationships
with the kids can be made is very important at this age.
iii.
April is Child
Abuse Prevention month.
iv.
Looking for ideas
of service project that the children can do that help the needy and oppressed
in the wider community.
- Finance presented by Mike Tjaden
i.
Tracking and
reporting of designated funds: Russ to
get clarity if needed on how to track it going forward. However it is unknown what to do with past
funds.
ii.
Organ fund
additional donations: August minutes
motion approved that after Sept 15th additional funds collected are
to go to designated funds. Dec. minutes
contradicted the prior August minutes and no motion was made to change it. The Organ fund is still not zeroed out,
however, funding has been identified to pay for the organ. As of Jan 1st Organ donations as
designated funds to be used by the Worship and Music committee as they choose.
- Membership and Evangelism presented by Mark T.
from Kari’s e-mail.
i.
May 12th

i.
Excellent
Stewardship Workshop was attended by June.
ii.
Committee
members: Paul Winghart has resigned from
the committee due to other obligations.
His leadership was valued during last year’s stewardship. Thank you
Paul! It would be desirable to have
several new members to the committee.
Please submit ideas to Mark Thompson.
- Youth presented by Jon Severson
i.
Thanks to the
congregation for support of the Easter breakfast. The youth are excited to be donating 10% of
the earnings to the Capital Campaign.

In May there will
be “transition” events. Picnic with Ed
& Lit to welcome younger kids and good-bye to older youth.
iii.
Canoe trip June

mostly ILC youth and just a few other youth from VIBE.
- Financial Report presented by Paul Mattessich
- Committee Reports to be reviewed by the
committees to look at big picture, planning and improvement to the
report. Check on detail and
contact Russ Carlson with issues.
Loren Danielson will meet with the committees at the next
all-committee night.
- Balance sheet reviewed. Income $40,683.61. Expense 49,632.04. Mortgage $5,010.23. Total -$13,958.66. Great improvement on the reports. A couple of comments: The council would like to see the year
to date numbers as well to see how we are tracking and the capital
campaign income clearly shown.
- Capital Campaign revenue seems to be missing
from the Income/Expense Report and Russ will be investigating.
- Committee Structure: Exec. Committee to meet just to review
comments from committees then bring ideas/recommendations to Council.
- Stewardship membership: Additional members needed.
- LASA:
Needs additional members.
Looking to re-define this important committee to add clarity to
its mission.
- All committees to review their committee
description in the By-Laws and make recommendations for changes as
appropriate. Look at things that
the committee does that is not in the description or does not do that is
in the description.
- Capital Campaign Update:
- Leadership pledges are at 50% participation (46
pledges) as of Tuesday $318,000 have been pledged. Reminder phone calls will be made if
necessary.
- The K-6 kids are donating to the
campaign and have over 100% participation. Which means that Deb Ahlquist had to
dye her hair as promised.
- Transition Task Force Update:
- Very busy with lots of interviews with the very
active members of the congregation.
Going to try to figure out who has not been in any of the groups
interviewed and set up alternated group dates to get these people
involved.
- Day of Remembrance was very good, very enthusiastic
and active. General renewed
commitment to doing the process right.
- Demographics study to be done.
- All input to be analyzed by the end of the
summer.
- Staffing structure will be very important. This is all interrelated with finances
and congregations needs and vision.
This is an important joint conversation and recommendations to be
brought to the council and/or the Transition Team.
- Outside visibility idea: Desire to increase visibility of the
church on busy
- Other Business
- Lutheran Night with the Twins baseball is August
18th at 7:10 pm. Sold
out except that there may be some tickets available through group
sales. Chase and Darlene to
follow-up on this.
- RCCI lease reviewed/revised and re-newed. Additional spaces and fee are
included. There may be an arts
group that could be leasing the space for studio, rehearsal and
recitals. Look like getting the
master calendar set up will be very important.
- Bookkeeper:
Last day was 4/6/10. Russ
is now doing the bookkeeper duties and it is going smoothly.
