Congregational Meeting Minutes
Immanuel Annual Meeting February 5, 2012 Meeting was called to order by Josh Gardner.
Pastor Al briefly reviewed the posters on the wall of the social hall. They were from the “Evening of
Historical Reflection” which was held on 2/4/12.
Pastor Al opened the meeting with prayer.
Josh Gardner led the meeting. Changes, as a result of the budget meeting, are reflected in the revised budget
report. Josh went through the annual report.
Minutes were reviewed with no comments.
Pastor Al’s interim report was highlighted with the historical reflection evening that focused on the past and
future of Immanuel. He is working to help Immanuel in the search for a permanent pastor.
The statistics of attendance, pastoral acts, and special services was reviewed.
The staff of Immanuel was given special thanks for all that they do.
A special thanks to the deacons whose service was increased past year due to the absence of a permanent
pastor.
Mike Nielsen reported for the building committee. This committee is composed of Mike, Debby Pilegard,
Jim Hansen, Lois Rasmussen, Carol Bennett, Andrew Severin, Doug Hecker, and Shane Johnson. The
outside of the building is complete. The Lincoln Avenue is complete. A special thanks to Doug Hecker for
his hard work. The dirt in the front of Immanuel is going to be finished with low maintenance plants and
drip irrigation. Money for this is already in the budget. Redesigning the parking out front was discussed.
We are aware of the parking difficulties. At the semi-annual meeting, there will be a vote to make a final
decision on what will be done with the parsonage. The parking area will be put in at the sight of the
parsonage due to County requirements. There is asbestos in the kitchen and part of one bedroom of the
parsonage. This must be dealt with before anything can be done. The council and the building committee
have a ten year goal for completion of the entire campus. It was suggested that the building committee plan
to come together and make a comprehensive parking plan to present to the congregation.

The budget was reviewed with the changes that were discussed at the budget meeting. It was suggested that
the council monitor the budget throughout the year and give benevolence on the real money brought in. It
was suggested to be realistic about giving 10% of what we really take in. There is $6,000 in the reserve
fund. The budget was M/S/C.
Representatives to Bethel Home Board will continue to be Doris Jorgensen and Charles.
The meeting was closed with prayer.
Respectfully submitted,

Semi-annual meeting for Immanuel Lutheran Church June 24, 2012
Pastor Al opened the meeting with prayer.
Pastor Al explained that there are 325 – 350 congregations signed as being in the NALC synod. Six of these
congregations are in California. He went over the two proposals that were before us.
Josh Gardner took nominations for Sunday School Superintendent was M/S/C. Lynette Hecker and Ericka
Gardner will be joint superintendents with Kim Shaffer being the assistant superintendent. M/S/C.
The call committee has submitted the congregational profile to the synod office. Pastor Wendall has had the
profile for three weeks and we have not heard anything. We are not sure of an exact time frame.
The constitution was amended that a person serving on the council is allowed to have two-2 year terms and
then one year off. M/S/C.
The financial obligations of Immanuel were gone over. There has been a continued deficit in the budget
since 2008. The reserves have been used. This year we have spent less than the money budgeted. The
church council approved to cut unused monies and transfer these into the general fund. The council
approved to take from the Pastor’s continuing education fund, travel, special programs, church repairs, and
the NALC convention fund. The council approved to stop paying for nursery attendants during the service.
The council suggested stopping the evening Country Gospel service.
There was much discussion over the budget. There was a motion to stop the Country Gospel service after
July 1, 2012. There was a motion to vote on this by using a silent ballot. M/S/C. The results of the silent
ballot were 53 in favor of stopping the service; fourteen voted to keep the service going; and one person
abstained. M/S/C.
Mike Nielsen went over the building report and stated that the end is near. There needs to be a final
