MINUTES .... 1982 ANNUAL MEETING WOMEN'S AUXILIARY OF WATERLOO LUTHERAN SEMINARY The 1982 annual meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, took place at St. Luke's Lutheran Church, Franklin St. N., Kitchener, on Wednesday, September 29, 1982. On display in the nave of the church was the beautifully embroidered Christmas Banner, which the Auxiliary purchased for the Seminary Chapel with the special offering received at our 1979 annual meeting. The meeting was called to order at 10 a.m. by the president Mrs. Dorothy Schaefer, who welcomed all assembled. A special welcome was extended to those attending the annual meeting for the first time and also to the Rev. Ruth Fieldhouse, the newly ordained pastor at St. Peter's, Linwood. It was a pleasure to extend a welcome to Mr. Richard Taylor, from Public Relations Dept. of Wilfrid Laurier University, who always does such a fine job of reporting our meeting to the newspaper. The Rev. James Bindernagel, Pastor at St. Luke's Lutheran Church extended greetings and welcome to all. The audience participated in a sing-along, in which Pastor Bindernagel accompanied on the ukelele -- All creation shows the glory of the Lord, The earth proclaims His handiwork, The sky cries out His word; Night and day sing out the glories all about, So praise the Lord with shouts of joy! REFRAIN: All you peoples, clap your hands And shout for joy The Lord has made all mankind one, So raise your voices high. Scripture reading was Romans Chapter 12. In his meditation Pastor Bindernagel assured us that God created the whole universe for ourselves and does not want us to question why. Readings from Psalm 31 and a prayer for all who are here today concluded the devotions. Greetings from the Seminary were extended by the Rev. Arnold Weigel, Director of Continuing Education, in the absence of Dr. Glebe. He is thankful to the Women's Auxiliary for no matter where you go there is evidence of its work. The Women's Auxiliary is responsible for much of the comfort of the 115 students of the Seminary. BUSINESS SESSION 1. Report of the President.
