Discussion: Kevin Klonoski, speaking for the Call Committee,
presented to the congregation that Poul Erik Norgaard, currently serving
the congregation in the capacity of Minister of Formation, has fulfilled all
the requirements necessary for ordination in the church. Calling Poul
Erik Norgaard as Assistant Pastor allows him to be ordained. Kevin also
stated that compensation would remain the same as it currently is for

congregation that this elevation in position did not mean that if some
tragedy should befall Pastor Nathan Hoff, Poul Erik Norgaard would
automatically become Senior Pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church.

15. President’s Report

16. How do you typically “church-shop?” Are you
mostly interested in finding a church that
accommodates your needs and gives you a
comfortable experience? Or are you looking
for a church that equips you to serve and
deploys your gifts?
Too often we seek a church that will play our
type of music, cater to our schedule, and not
ask too much of us. But just as Christ died
for the Church, we are reminded to give no
more than Jesus did to the Church – and He
gave his life.
• What is one thing that you typically catch yourself
wrongly expecting from your church?

17. • Do I like the music?
• Do I like the captain and his crew?
• Is the service good?
• Are my needs met?
• Is my cruise pleasant?
• Is it comfortable?
• Do I want to sail with them again?

18. • Is the ship on a clear and noble mission?
• Does the captain submit to a higher
authority?
• Are the crew members equipped to
succeed?
• Are they able to contribute in significant
ways?
• Are they honored for their efforts?
