THE PARISH NEWS

HAYWARD-TRONDHJEM LUTHERAN PARISH

September 2011

 

From Pastor Katie:

“For surely I know the plans that I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with a hope. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.” Jeremiah 29:11-12

 

The plans that God had for the people of Israel, the prophet Jeremiah told them, was to bring them home out of exile. We are not far from home, as they were, but are perhaps we are no less curious about the plans God has for all of us.

 

We are doing a lot of planning for September, not just as children get back to school, but as a faith community. On Tuesday, September 13 we will have a planning meeting with Bart from Lifetouch to start planning a new pictorial directory. Look for more information on that in the months ahead – our photo sit-down days will be November 3-5. On Sunday, September 18 we will have a big celebration for all of Hayward to give thanks to God that Hayward Lutheran Church is in its 135th year, and to have some fun! On Sunday, September 25 Sunday Night Live! will begin again in Hayward, as we once again offer food, music, and bible stories and activities for families.  There is much to do and I hope you are as excited as I am about all of it.

 

We are also doing some new planning in worship, thanks to the addition of our new pianist, Rachel Carlson. While we were sad to say good-by to Alex Knoll (though very supportive of his new college adventure), I am happy to have Rachel come on as a young but experienced musician. All of us can look forward to working with her to see how her gifts and the gifts of our congregations meet, to give glory to God and to make beautiful music.

 

No matter our best laid plans, it is often difficult to predict how things turn out. I look forward to the fall with all of you and seeing what all we can do together. And I trust that God does have plans for us, plans for a future with a hope, that we can trust in no matter what happens.

 

 

God’s peace,

Pastor Katie

Re:                         Sale of Parsonage

 

As most of you know by now, the parsonage is finally sold.  I still do not know who the new owners are, perhaps some of you will have this information by the time you read this.  It doesn’t really matter for the purpose of this letter.  I am writing to you to address the issue of what is to be done with the income from the sale.  After all closing costs are taken care of, we can expect an amount close to $105,000.  Of this Hayward will get 80% and Trondhjem will receive 20%.  That means that Hayward will realize about $84,000.  This is certainly good news, but it does at the same time pose problems.  At our last council meeting, we all agreed that this money should not be used for day to day current operating expenses.  There are pitfalls associated with having too much money available in a general fund for current operating expenses.  We need to continue to practice the diligence we have always displayed in meeting our obligations.  As a result, the council has decided to open a savings account at American Bank and deposit the funds there where they will be available for the inevitable major projects which will confront us in the future.  We have a long term planning committee in place and they have some projects in mind.  The money in our savings account should be available to help defray these expenses.  I might add that we should expect to employ the same special fund raising projects that we have used in the past for special projects.  We cannot assume that the money from the parsonage will solve all of our future financial concerns.  If any of you have any thoughts on these or any other matters, please express them to a council member.
