Parish council met on May 2nd and the Synod and the Bishop have agreed to allow Allan Brakke to be our interim pastor and he is willing to sign a contract for one year. He was at the meeting and said he would be on call 24/7, whenever he is needed. He plans to do visitations once a month and would like names, address and phone numbers for whoever you wish him to visit.
It was agreed for all churches to have communion twice a month at the 2nd & 4th Sundays. Pastor Allan will also be at the congregation council meetings so he has more involvement with our separate churches.
Pastor Allan's wages will be $325 a week for all 3 services plus mileage, $20 for visitation, $175 for weddings and funerals with mileage for each of his trips. The Synod mileage rate is 58.5 cents a mile. He said he didn't need any benefits as he has his own insurance.
The Parish council agreed we are thankful for Pastor Allan's commitment to our churches.
