Annual congregational meeting: Feb. 12, 2012

Posted on February 6, 2012 by | Leave a comment

A special message from Carol Goulet, council president, Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield:

There have been many changes here at Grace. As we look forward to a new phase in our church, it is a time to also look back. After Sunday Service on February 12, 2012, we will hold our annual congregational meeting. At that time our leaders will present their annual reports.

Each one of you is important in the life of this congregation, so please join us and see how far we have come. Help us to plan where we will be going in the future.

“God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it. 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” I Cor. 12:24-27
