Congregational Life & Worship
About the Board
2008 brought stability to the Board of Worship and Congregational Life. Although we had to say goodbye to Pastor Jim, whom we
were grateful to have as an interim pastor; we were grateful to have as an interim pastor; we were excited to meet Pastor Mike.
In the fall of 2008 we welcomed Pastor Mike and felt blessed to have him. We were also thankful for Council-elect members Kathy
Carlson and Troy Minske who joined us in March. The mission of our board is to provide a high quality worship experience for
our congregation and to foster growth in both the church community and the larger community in which we live. Much of our monthly meeting
is comprised of preliminary planning for our worship services. Additionally, special services are offered though out the church
year: Christmas services, Ash Wednesday, Lenten Worship, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, Easter, and Thanksgiving.
We would like to thank the many members who assist with these services.
In 2008 one of our goals was to further explore and become
more familiar with additional settings in the ELW. Although we have become more familiar with the ELW, it is still a learning
process for us. We will continue to focus on this goal in 2009. The other goals we have for 2009 are continue to familiarize
Pastor Mike with the worship traditions of Immanuel and to increase participation in congregational life opportunities.
