​April 12, 2023, Council Meeting Highlights
 
After giving consideration to the possibility of hosting a Senior Citizens dinner and a Father/Son Banquet, the Council agreed to table these two events and revisit the potential for planning later this year.
 
The Delaware/Maryland ELCA will be holding its annual Synod Assembly this year on June 9 and 10 at Grace Lutheran in Westminster, MD.  We need two volunteers to attend the Conference and represent our congregation.  You do not need to be on the Council to be a voting representative at the conference.  We also can send a youth or young adult.
 
We have filed a claim with Brotherhood Insurance for the repairs to the west wall of our church.  A claims representative came to our location to view the damage and to gather information regarding our claim.  The next step will probably be for the insurance company to send a structural engineer to assess the damage and determine what caused the wall to bow.  That information will be sent back to Brotherhood’s claims department to decide whether the existing damage is covered under our policy.
 
We are basically in a holding pattern right now while we wait for the insurance company to complete their claims investigation.
 
If this is not a claim covered by our insurance, we will have to assume the expense to make these essential repairs.
 
Pastor and Jody are working on alternate worship sites for us to use while the repairs are being made.
