We have had several meetings this past month that are important for the well being of our facilities and the long term mission of our church.
Our Strategic Planning Committee has met with very good discussion and thinking about the
short and long range plans for Zion. It is so neat to see the long term opportunities as well as
short term, and thinking about “what is God’s plan for this congregation in this community?”.
For the present, the committee has agreed that the Preschool focus is the present “top priority”,
and will be getting more details of a community analysis and need based decisions to build confidence that we are on the right track.
The council has completed a review of the Weeke bid for repairs to our HVAC. Not surprisingly,
the cost is significant, but I think we all are aware of the lack of uniform heating and probably
air conditioning coming up, and it needs to be addressed. Their bid was $38,225, and we feel
good that they are making the right changes after consulting with our member engineers. The
unit is 20 years old, and some components are not working right. This will be discussed at the
April Voters Meeting.
The Trustees have set a date of Saturday, March 13th, as a clean up day for the Holroyd property that Zion purchased. We need a good turnout to help, as we will be cleaning out the house,
garage/shed, and the brush on the property. This will prepare us for better maintenance of the
grounds for the summer. Please keep this date in mind and help if you can.
A big thank you to the membership donations that keep coming in to offset the purchase price
of the Holroyd property. Currently, Zion has received $10,920, which is a tremendous help to
our budget! Thank you so much!
Please let the leadership know how we can improve what Zion is doing for you. After all, we are
all part of the same family!
God’s blessings to you.
Dale Wehmeyer, President
