We are still looking for names of church members, past and present, that served in the military. Check the poster in the narthex and add anyone we have missed. Thank You! ~ Marge Block & Judy Best


Quilters Request
The Quilters are collecting school supplies for Lutheran World Relief. They are filling 30 backpacks! They will ship them along with the quilts this October.

Items being collected are:

Love Family
Love Family donations are gift cards for offsetting school supplies. Cards to Meijer, Walgreens, Kohls, and gas cards would be wonderful! When you purchase cards from scrip, you can let the person working know they are for the love family and I can collect them. Thank you!
