What: Help is needed to
assemble the printed weekly bulletins and monthly newsletters. Help is also needed periodically with special projects and
mailings, as well as with routine office tasks.
How often: Help is needed on a weekly or occasional basis. You might want to volunteer on a routine schedule or be on a potential availability list to be called upon when needed for special projects.
What: Every year,
congregations from the Northern Illinois Synod gather for two days (third
weekend in June, from Friday morning to Saturday at 3 p.m.) at Augustana College
in Rock Island, IL. The business of
the Synod is taken care of at that time (i.e., approving a budget for the Synod,
as well as setting policy, etc.). In
addition, there are wonderful opportunities to worship together.
Our congregation covers the cost. We
stay overnight Friday in a local motel.
How often: Once a year, in June. We are allowed two delegates from our congregation, along with the Pastor.
What: Once a year, in the fall, our coalition of ELCA churches in Rockford, known as Rockford Area Lutheran Ministries, has an annual meeting, summarizing its work as well as presenting its budget and plans for the next year. Along with the Pastor, we need two delegates to attend this meeting.
How often: Once a year.
