URLC COUNCIL NOTES DECEMBER

The URLC Council has been working on the

budget for the coming year. While the 3R loan was paid off, there were several items on the original list that were not completed due to other needs, such as the new air condition-ers. We have ongoing maintenance and re-

placement needs such as new furnaces. We are looking at the current needs and are trying to build some of the replacement in the budg-et meaning an increase in the annual budget

rather than taking another loan out to do those projects immediately. This does mean a need for a slight increase in giving but less funding raising for a loan repayment. Please plan to attend an informational meeting the week be-

fore the annual meeting. Do not hesitate to contact anyone on the council if you have questions. We are looking for two replacement members

for the Church Council. If you are interested at all or have questions, please contact any one on the Council or Pastor Marggi.

YOGA UNITED REDEEMER LUTHERAN

CHURCH

Yoga has become a popular way of destressing and decluttering our minds and allowing our individual natural energies to flow through our bodies as we combine gentle yoga poses with breath and meditation. In addition, yoga has many health benefits. To find out more about what yoga can do for you, stop by the information table between church services on December 15, 2019 and January 12, 2020. Here you can also sign-up if you are interested in attending yoga classes at URLC. There will also be a sign up sheet on the office door. No previous experience is required, just come with an open mind and heart.
