The LCR Council met on April 17, 2011.
The meeting this month generated great discussion. There was an abundance of information that was presented and much to decipher. The Holy Spirit is continuing to do great work at LCR and we should all feel very blessed to be a part of the wonderful things happening at our church!
In this month’s devotion, Pastor Dave read from the 3rd Chapter of Exodus, when God appears before Moses in the burning bush. Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is Holy Ground.” Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” This is Holy week, the Holiest of the church year. Pay special attention this week for God’s presence. This is Holy ground because Christ is here with us. If we pay attention, God will make his presence known to us.
The council meeting minutes and financial reports from March were both approved.
Mark and Sandy Brosch were special guests to this month’s meeting. They are leading the efforts to organize and plan a celebration in honor of Pastor Dave’s 30 Year Anniversary since being ordained. Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 18th beginning at 6:30pm in the gathering room as we come together to celebrate! Dinner tickets will be on sale on Sundays starting May 15th until Sunday June 11th between services. Mark and Sandy are utilizing small groups to assist in the coordination of this great event. Be on the lookout for more information regarding the celebration. Contact Mark or Sandy Brosch with any questions or to offer how you can help. Thank you Mark and Sandy!
Jerry Pantelakis presented to council on behalf of the Physical Assets Team. The team has worked diligently to look at the needs of our campus as we continue to grow. We are GROWING and that is a great “problem” to have. Attendance is up since the completion of the Sanctuary Enhancement Plan. On Easter Sunday we worshipped over 600 people at LCR! What this means is that we need more classrooms and meeting space. The team presented rough sketches and outlines on possible enhancements to our current campus. Thank you Jerry and the Physical Assets team for all your great work! Remember to be on the lookout for new faces and give them a warm LCR welcome!
The Director of Ministries’ Report had other new business this month. Kerry proposed a new policy for Starting a New Ministry at LCR. The policy was unanimously approved. All current ministries in place would be “grandfathered in” under the new policy. Contact Kerry if you are interested in starting a new ministry or have any questions about the Starting a New Ministry Policy.
Kerry was also pleased to report that LCR welcomed 16 new members to our congregation this month!
