Special Congregation Meeting—10:30 am, Sun., August 30, 2020 First Lutheran Church President Virginia “Ginny” Larson, hereby, calls a special meeting of the congregation to act on the recommendation of the FLC Church Council to replace one member of the Pastoral Call Team (committee). Katie Davis, previously elected as one of the three Call Team members from the Church Council, as required by the FLC By-Law Part XIX, A., resigned from the Council to concentrate on her job, service with the FLC confirmation ministry and family. The Council recommends Council member, Sue Loch, to be elected to the Call Team in her stead. Arrangements are being developed to attempt to allow people to attend virtually if they decide not to attend in person due to the coronavirus pandemic.
