Announcements for May 8, 2022

 Communion - Going forward we will be having communion the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month (plus any special church festivals) instead of every Sunday.

Rev. Allen Brakke will be providing pulpit supply for us each Sunday beginning May 15th for atleast one year or until we call a permanent pastor. Please notify your council or Dawn of those who should be receiving visits. He is available for weddings and funerals as needed. Rev. Brakke (Pastor Al) has mentioned he will be available 24/7 for any emergencies that may require a late night visit to a hospital or bedside. We appreciate his willingness to serve our parish and hold him up in our prayers.

Interim Pastor

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.

Dawn Hamilton is making the bulletins - her cell number is 605-270-0087. You can also send your information to Jodi Burma and she will post it on the church blog/send text message and Dawn will receive it then as well.
