Thanks for supporting LWML’s Garage Sale, held Sat., March 3rd, in Luther Hall. We enjoyed visiting with the many people who came out for our INDOOR sale. It was a lot of work, but the fellowship and working together was priceless. Most of what wasn’t sold was delivered to Good Will (Wal-Mart shopping center). Books and tapes were delivered to the Library for their book sale on March 17. A portion of the proceeds will be sent to MITES.

LWML Thanks Jerry Hartenberger, Ray Hughes & Scott Hughes for their carpentry work in LWML’s meeting room. Replacing the flooring will be the next project.

THANKS to all who donated items for Lutheran World Relief Personal Care Kits. They will be packed into boxes to be sent on to the collection point in Dallas.

Kroger "Neighbor to Neighbor" Program |

Kroger “Neighbor to Neighbor” Program - July 1 thru next April 30. LWML uses these funds for various projects. You must RE - ENROLL each year, so look in the Narthex for the new barcode sheet. When you use your Kroger card, hand the barcode sheet to the cashier for scanning, and it will be attached to your card. You only need to do this once and it’s good until next April. Thanks to all who participate in this way.
