NEWS AND NOTES

New Advisor

New Advisor

New Advisor

We say "Farewell" to Pastor Thomas K. Schmitt of St. Martin in Chilton and thank him for serving as advisor, as well as presenter.

Welcome to Rev. James K. Schulz of Trinity, Sheboygan, who, along with Trinity's Altar Guild, hosted our convention in 2017.

Newsletter

New Advisor

New Advisor

Usually our newsletter contains information about the previous year's convention and lists member churches. Since we didn't meet last year, or collect dues, there is no newsletter, but our treasurer has provided an informational article. See it under 2021 below.

Dues

New Advisor

Dues were suspended during 2020 because of 'Covid Confusion.'  They

 will be part of this year's plans, and will help to defray communication expenses (website, email, and limited paper mailings), as well as providing funds for North and South District missions.

Notice that we have a "Sharing" page now, which contains the information we have received thus far on how churches are handling COVID and on Lenten practices.

More to Come as  participation grows!

Don't Forget Those Questions

If you addressed an email to us and it was not answered, we apologize.  Our platform upgraded  the emailing  procedure, and a special alert about incoming email was deleted. We are back in business now, so rest assured your email to us will be seen!

Newsletters


 Our newsletters are intended to help us understand various elements of the church year, as well as to provide insights and inspiration.  Generally, our Pastoral Advisor begins the letter with advice and biblical understanding, while our newsletter editor provides information and background on practical matters.  A membership list is included, as well as a prayer which is suitable for use in guild meetings.
