Dear Church Family,

Please find attached the Bulletin, Announcements, and the Children’s Activity Sheets for this Sunday.

Thank you to our lector Wayne Carlson, communion assistant Katherine Soule-Blaser, ushers Edith & Lorne Carlson, Choir Director Deb Buck, musician Mik Bickis, and technical support Greg-Fowlie Neufeld for assisting in worship.  Thanks also to the altar guild for communion preparations and the coffee crew of Linda & Bob Jarock.  (Note that coffee will be set up downstairs because of the meeting following the service). And special thanks to the Augustana-St. Timothys choir for the special music featuring Margareth Peterson on flute.

TO NOTE: Special Congregational Meeting January 21

To make changes to the Constitution, the motions to be discussed are announced on two Sundays followed by two Special Congregational Meetings held 1 month apart. The first meeting to be held on January 21 will allow discussion of the motions and the second meeting will be on February 18 when the motions will be voted upon. The motions are:

“Moved that the Augustana Lutheran Constitution Article VIII Congregational Meeting Section 4 be amended to read: 30 voting members shall constitute a quorum.” 

“Moved that the Augustana Lutheran Constitution Article IX Congregational Council and its Officer Section 1 be amended to read:  At its annual meeting the congregation shall elect a Congregational Council of not less than 6 nor more than 12 members for terms of three years each with approximately one-third of the terms expiring annually.”
