January Mission Work DayThank you for your generosity in supplying needs for our personal health care kits to ship to LWR. We were able to assemble 93 kits. In tracking past shipments, we have made a difference in the lives of people in Angola, Pakistan, Thailand and the Ukraine. We pray that these kits will give these refugees hope, and provide comfort as they work to establish sustainable lives. If you missed contributing this time we will continue to collect healthcare items for future kits. As usual items can be place in basket by the library. This is a Thrivent Action Team Event.

This month, the Mission Ministry team is requesting help tying and binding quilts for our Lutheran World Relief quilt projects. If you are able to take one (or a few) home and work on them, the quilts and cotton thread can be found on the

mission table outside the church library. Questions? Contact Gladys Luecken at 694-2432.

This year, we will once again be hosting combined Lenten

Services with Bethel and Zion Churches starting on Ash Wednesday, February 14 at 6 pm. We look forward

to seeing you there!
