Council News
Council met on Thursday, April 15, 2021 at 7 p.m. via Zoom.
• The parsonage has been rented for a 2 year term beginning April 1. The renter has already had to install a new toilet in the main bathroom as the tank liner came loose so the decision to replace the toilet was made.
We are pretty lucky to have a handy man as a renter. Thank you!
• Rev. Garry MacDowall will be recording a couple more Communion services for us.
• Web page update: the main page has been updated, Pastor Jim Vicker’s message has been deleted and Bishop Jason will do a Transitional Message after the MNO Synod Convention for posting in its place.
• Kelly Hackenschmidt will be asked to do grass-cutting at the church as he did last year.
• Grass cutting at Scandinavia Cemetery – requires a riding lawn mower and trimmer and takes the better part of a day. If anyone is interested or knows of someone who has the equipment and time, please call Cliff Nichols at (204)636-7817.
• The Eternity for Today that is mailed out quarterly does cost the church $227. Council suggests that $10.00 per year be remitted to ELC by individuals receiving the Eternity for Today booklets.

• We are very glad that Cliff is back on council to take the lead in a few projects:
- Calling an electrician to check the transformer on the cross light.
- Following up about the back door replacement.
- Checking the battery on the elevator emergency light.
- While the electrician is here, get them to fix the microphone plug at the front of the church.
- While the electrician is here, check out a cost-effective, up-dated sanctuary lighting option.
- Repairing the holes in the vinyl siding.
- The need to paint the inside of the church was discussed including sanctuary, narthex, boardroom and Admin office. Color would remain the same – creamy off-white with sanctuary wainscotting remaining in natural wood. Cathy will contact professional painters with scaffolding and equipment for a quote.
