Annual Meeting Voting Results 5/6/25
Dear Church Family,
Standing in front of you during our Annual Meeting was a humbling experience. Not only because many of you watched me grow up here, but also because I was reminded through the laughter and open discourse that we shared, of the impact this community has had in my life. It is because of that impact that I want to celebrate the specific results from our voting yesterday.
Congregational Church Council
First and foremost I want to congratulate the following members who have been discerned by our congregation to serve as part of our council for the next three years. Please congratulate them and all who were lifted up during this process the next time you see them.
I also want to thank Duane Tiede, Scott Diehl, and Jess Colonero for their years of spirit-filled service to Good Shepherd as they finish out the last few months of their terms as council members. These three will continue to serve this church as new members of our Council Nominating Committee.
Operating Budget
Building Project Resolution
Constitutional Amendments
Finally, regarding the recommended amendments to our Constitution the results were as follows…
I’m sincerely grateful for all of you who participated during the meeting. We had thoughtful questions, good-faith conversations, and even found a way to have some fun during all of the business we needed to address. As we head into the summer please know that I will always be available for you, and I know I speak on behalf of our council when I say that. You can email us at any time or you can go to our new page on our website for the latest updates.
Thank you again,
Tyler Wojtkiewicz | Congregational Council President | 24-25
