Thank you to all outgoing elected members for your faithful service and to all who were willing to lift their names to serve in these important roles. Your willingness to lead is an act of discipleship in and of itself. We are deeply grateful for each of you.
Thank you as well to the congregation for braving the cold to be part of this important gathering and to the adults and youth who served a delicious spaghetti meal before the meeting. It truly was a grand day at First Lutheran!
