He had an awesome time! +++++++++++++++++++++++
Council News! The council meeting on Feb. 2nd has been postponed until Feb. 9th due to weather conditions. Updates on a couple issues that have been discussed at our congregational meetings: - Peace Lutheran Endowment Fund: Chad Tyk reports that the necessary bylaws that would govern a new Endowment Fund has been passed through the LCEF advisors in St. Louis. They have a couple suggestions which might make them better. If begun, an endowment fund would bless the ministry of Peace for many generations to come! More details to come! - CHURCH VAN George Price reports that a 15 passenger van IS presently being inspected by Kelleher Auto and he hopes that it might turn out to be something that we might consider purchasing! (No purchase would be made without a congregational meeting and approval!)
