to eat and a chance to learn about JULY COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS "Get Fired Up" was one of the many upcoming events that the council of St. John's Lutheran Church discussed at the July meeting. August 16 will be a fun day as we celebrate Rally Day for the Sunday School and also send off Aline Skogstoe as she begins her year with Young Adults in Global Mission. Please mark your calendars and plan to come and partake in the BBQ grilling and pie baking contest. After enjoying the noon meal you will vote for your favorites and enjoy some old fashioned games. St. John's council spent time learning about the Good Samaritan Fund and its limits. As we hope to reach out to the community around us, we have requested that a group develop guidelines for the fund. We hope to be in a position to help with the needs of members as well as nonmembers. The Property Committee report brought forward the list of projects that are being addressed now and those that are in queue to be worked on in the future. The report provided interesting information regarding where our property offerings are used and why. A complete copy of the minutes is available by mail or email by contacting the church office.
