The FELC Church Council met on July 18 on Zoom. Here are some highlights from the meeting:
- Approved spending $9,000 to replace the A/C in the fellowship hall. This is half the cost of the replacement; the child development center will pay for the other half.
- Approved spending up to $6,000 from the Metzger endowment to purchase new paraments and vestments for Advent and Lent, from the same company that made our other new paraments, Jeff Wunrow Designs.
- Approved spending up to $2,700 from the memorial fund to purchase up to 16 framed saint icons to display in the Chapel of the Saints, featuring diverse saints from ancient to contemporary.
- Adopted a Statement of Welcome for FELC, developed by our LGBTQ+ Ministries Team, that is inclusive of all people as part of our ongoing status as a Reconciling in Christ congregation through Reconciling Works.
- Approved spending $2,750 to have a guest preacher once a month through 2022, including the expenses to bring back former vicars Kelsey Kresse and Alex LaChapelle.
