After 15 faithful years, the First Lutheran Church refrigerator was beyond repair. A new refrigerator was purchased, which was $2,846.61. A generous memorial donation for kitchen use covered $1,522.90 of this cost. The FLCW budget would welcome any donations to cover the $525.00 balance. Donations will allow budgeted benevolence giving of First Lutheran Women to continue. Donations should be to FLCW. Any questions, please contact Denice Smith, Kitchen Committee Chair. THANK YOU!
333 bars of soap were given to the Tiger’s Den Food Shelf, First Lutheran My Little Church, and the Pine River Backus Area Food Shelf. Thank you to everyone who gave bars of soap to this Lenten FLCW Project.
God’s Work, Your Hands!
Today’s Noisy Offering is going to Lutheran Disaster Response. Lutheran Disaster Response shares God’s hope, healing and renewal with people whose lives have been disrupted by disasters in the United States and around the world. When the dust settles and the headlines change we stay to provide ongoing assistance to those in need.
This morning following the worship service, there will be a 90th Birthday celebration for Art Schmidt.
