Old Business
Bev reported that $1021 was deposited for the Westland fundraiser. The expenses will be deducted from that and we will hold the money for the Westlands until they are ready for it.
Committee Reports
No reports from mission statement committee, evangelism, or worship committees.
The Board of Education reported that Sunday School teachers are in place and enrollment is up.
Building and Grounds
Dean reported that the church roof is completed and we have insurance money for the parsonage roof. We can shingle on top of the old shingles for a cost of approximately $1500. Dean will contact Obert from Trondjhem for their approval.
Dean also reported that the basement walls in the parsonage have been stripped. They will need cleaning and painting. Steve Kraushaar will take care of wiring for new heaters. Nothing has been done on the windows.
Long Range Planning
The committee met earlier and recommended pursuing the construction of a lift. Wes recommended more bids, visits to several local churches. We will present the council's recommendation after the October meeting and the congregation will be asked to vote at the annual meeting.
Further Old Business
Bev reported that Jerry bought a printer for $100.
There has been no reply following the LeAnn Juveland injury.
We will plan to repaint the slow sighs in the Spring.
We donated $300 to the Freeborn County Ministerial Association. Of that $93 was collected in a special offering.
A question was raised whether we have received the rebate from the new computer.
New Business
Bev presented information about a new copier since our old copier lease is up. She was directed
to do more research on this as we do not have enough information.
A check for $10 was given for a carpet fund. We do not have a carpet fund. This will be put in the building fund and designated "for carpet."
Money can be added to the organ fund CD in amounts of $100. Contributions will be placed in the general fund until they accumulate to that amount.
As worship committee chair, Jean was appointed to head an organ committee and prepare a report for the annual meeting.
Pastor Scott would also like to have a memorial committee. No action was taken on this.
Karin Shelton turned in her resignation as church treasurer. This will be effective December 31, 2001.

Respectfully submitted,
Jean Skaar, Secretary
