Committees & Groups

 

Grief Support
Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? A Community GriefShare, grief recovery support group will start meeting on Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 pm in Cambridge at Willerup Methodist Church. GriefShare is a nondenominational group and features Biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics and is open to the community. For additional information see the flyer in the narthex and/or contact Gary Friesen at 423-4037.

Unemployed or Under-Employed?
Contact the church office for information on networking groups and job clubs that may help. 

New Team to Help in the Community
Would you be interested in serving on a team in our congregation that tries to identify needs in our local community, and then help? Everything from helping older neighbors with yard work, to hosting free car repair days, to being a crisis line for families in need. We already give financial support to families who need help with gas, utilities, etc., but we've been pondering trying to connect people more with friends, relationships, and volunteers. Looking at March 23rd at 7:00 p.m. as a first exploratory meeting. Call the church office if you're interested in participating.

Women of the ELCA
Our women meet on the first Thursday of the month in September, October, November, January, February, March, April, May and June for sewing in our Sewing Room in the basement of First East Church.  We put together and tie around 80 quilts each year to send to Lutheran World Relief, along with sewing kits, school kits, and soap.  These meeting are open to anyone who would like to help.  Squares usually are available for those who would like to sew tops at home.

News from Church Council
From Council President, Bonnie Ehrke
January, 2012

We have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body.
Romans 12:4

Thank you, as a congregation, for the ministry each of you has invested in East Koshkonong. Reviewing the annual report for 2011 and all of the committees and events we realize the efforts of many people and how God is working in our lives.

Reluctantly we said good bye to Pastor Jim the end of December 2011, and wished him (and Bev) well in retirement. Beginning January 1st we welcomed Pastor Margo Martens. She has stepped into our lives and become one with us. Pastor Margo has already lead us in worship, invited our young people to come forward for children’s sermon , lead our youth in confirmation classes, attended WELCA, attended women’s circle group, and met numerous members within the congregation. Welcome Pastor Margo.

Thank you to our church council members. With our individual gifts we have a team. Jaime, as Vice President has been diligently working on numerous projects, including Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and most recently a proposed budget for 2012; Peggy, as Secretary has provided accurate and essential minutes of our meetings; Karen, as worship committee member has kept us up to date on worship events; Kristen, as stewardship member has encouraged and challenged us to use our gifts;
Kurt, as property member has been busy with painting, lighting, and so much more; Steve, as Treasurer has provided insights and direction from being President in 2010. Thank you, we have experienced another year of God’s love, joy and blessings. Sadly we say goodbye to Peggy Luther, Kurt Klemp, and Steve Wagner, as they complete three years of dedicated work on EKLC council. Thank you for your enthusiasm and perseverance.


The Call Committee met with the Church Council on Sunday, January 8 and presented a recommendation for candidates as a pastor for EKLC. The council reviewed all information from the Call Committee and voted to proceed in the call process.

East Koshkonong Lutheran Church held their annual meeting on Sunday, January 22, 2012. As part of the new business on the agenda, the congregation extended calls to Pastor Kirstin Tannas and Troy Jacobson to share EKLC’s single pastor position. Everyone is excited to be moving forward in the process of calling a pastor.

The annual meeting was also a time of electing council members. Joining the church council are Gloria Fruit, Dave Reese, and David Repyak. Welcome to our new members.

As we look forward to more blessings, more changes and new challenges in 2012, keep all in prayer. May we open our hearts to God’s guidance and wisdom, His love and care.

Sincerely in Christ,
Bonnie
