Congregational Meeting
Today, a congregational meeting will be held immediately following the morning
service. Members will be asked to vote for all council nominees they believe are
biblically qualified to serve. The budget will be presented and voted on. Votes will
also be cast for the approval for the redecoration of the church and transferring
money into the Building Trust Fund.
Budget highlights:
The budget is a significant decrease from this year. This is primarily the result of removing
all expenses for a youth leader. If the unexpected happens and the opportunity to fill such
a position arises, it can quite easily be restored.
a. Council increased the honorarium for our organ and piano players, which
is reflected in the budget.
b. There are reports of a large increase in the price of natural gas, which accounts for the
large increase in utilities.
c. Health insurance rates for next year have not yet been published. The budget reflects a
7% increase, but there is late information that it will likely be less than that.
d. Items highlighted in pink are an increase from this year’s budget, those in green a
decrease.
e. Council approved hourly wage increases for the secretary and custodian and a cost-ofliving increase for the pastor. The decrease in budget for the secretary is only because
this year’s budget was much too high.
f. If you have questions about the reasons for particular changes in the budget, you are
encouraged to ask either Treasurer Dave Cox or Pastor Bill before the congregational
meeting.
Members will be asked to vote for all council nominees they believe are biblically
qualified to serve. Council approved the following nominations for elder and deacon
For elder – Jasper Hall and Mike Lindeen
For deacon – Sharon Boegel, Terry Dykstra, Charlotte Long, Joy Sharpe
The lot will be cast after the morning service on November 1. Elders and deacons selected are
asked to attend the November 10 council meeting so new officers can be elected. Installation is
scheduled for the morning of November 15.
Announcements

The Fellowship Committee
Thanksgiving Blessing: Every Thanksgiving the Anchorage communities come
together through the leadership of the Food Bank of Alaska to make sure that
families in need can celebrate the holiday with a complete Thanksgiving meal.
Churches play an important role in gathering a lot of the ingredients and helping
families through the process on distribution day. They are expecting 3000+
participants this year. CAN YOU HELP? Let’s create a huge pyramid of canned corn! Trinity will collect
canned corn for the meal and cookies for the hospitality rooms. There will be a sign-up sheet for cookies
in the lobby. Trinity can make a real difference—let’s joyfully share with our neighbors this Thanksgiving!
Sacred Concert: Next Sunday, Rossini: Petite Messe Solenelle will be airing from 6-9 a.m. on KLEF
98.1FM.
