ST. PAUL’S ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING was held following the worship service on Sunday, January 22, 2017.  During the worship service, the new officers for 2017 were installed.

            President Bill Dahms called the meeting to order and Pastor Bob Molsberry opened with prayer. 

            It was reported that a quorum of members was present.

        Bill Dahms presented the Agenda for the meeting.  Jill Hopp made a motion to accept the Agenda as printed and Jim Hopp seconded the motion.  Motion carried with a voice vote.

            Minutes of the Fall Congregational Meeting on November 20, 2016, were presented and approved as printed.

            The Treasurer’s Report in the 2016 Annual Report was presented.  Bill Dahms thanked the congregation for their financial support as funds were moved from the general fund checking to the savings account.  The Report was accepted as printed.

            The youth fellowship account will be closed and the money transferred to the Sunday School account.

            The Auditing Committee reported that the books had been audited and all were in order.

Pastor’s Report:

            Pastor Bob Molsberry reported that he enjoys being here.  He values communication and that he is observing and may make changes at a later time.

            Jason Hopp asked about Confirmation classes.  Pastor Bob Molsberry commented that he will be glad to work with a Confirmation class – perhaps next fall.

            This will be Barb Tull’s last year teaching Sunday School.  Her efforts will be missed and we will be looking for a replacement.

            It was requested that the annual report booklet be prepared and passed out a week ahead of the annual meeting, if possible.
