Funeral Lunches: Susan Carnahan-Chairperson, Carol Tedder-Co-Chairperson. Thank you to everyone who provides food and helps. This is one of the ways we can help our member's families in the time of their sorrow.

The Quilting Ladies are making quilts for Lutheran World Relief. The fillers for these blankets may be polyester fabric, curtains, drapes, old blankets and old sheets. They may be tied with crochet or embroidery thread. Donations for this project would be appreciated. We also need fabric and sheets for our local charity quilts.
The quilters meet in the Parish hall on Tuesday at 1:00. If you would like an easy way to volunteer or get some community service hours, please consider joining us. All ages are welcome.
Fabric for quilts is available for you to make tops at home. If you have questions contact Vernita at 526-2267
