Food Shelf Report - At the end of October, another 13 # of food and products was delivered to the Food Shelf. The Food Shelf is so grateful for the monthly donations.
Our winter and holiday season is approaching and the need is growing. It is so easy to drop any non-perishable groceries, cleaning supplies, or hygiene supplies into the box provided in the Narthex of the church.
WELCA Quilters Report - 5 ladies and Ralph met on Wednesday, November 12 for a fun get-together. They were joined by 3 men and due to an extended Bible Study led by Ralph while having lunch, no quilts were made. We’d love for you to come join us. We have received a gift of sheets to transform into quilts. Another way to help out is to donate materials, old sheets in good shape, or donating cash to buy more materials as our resources for funds are limited. If interested, we do also sell our quilts for $25 each. Any quilts we have are donated to NUMAS Haus, Brown County Human Services, Watonwan Human Services, Senior Homes, NOVA House, and more. We have also sent quilts to Ukraine.
*** A monetary donation box will be available in the Narthex for any gifts towards quilt supplies.
Bible Study -- Ralph Flitter continues to lead us in a more in-depth look of the Gospel from the worship the Sunday before we meet. This is a very relaxed, informal discussion of the Gospel. Everyone (men-women-Faith Lutheran members and non-members) are welcome to join us. You do not have to do any quilting if you come for the Bible Study. We will enjoy coffee and treats (optional: bring a treat to share) during the study. We look forward to seeing you.
Living Meadows General Store --- We continue to have a basket located in the narthex to receive small gift items to be donated to Living Meadows General Store for bingo prizes and other things. Items can be lotions and cremes, soaps, body sprays, hygiene care items, toothpaste, coloring books, large sized crayons, Word Finds, greeting cards, snacks and sugar-free candies, room décor and other small items.
Snow Removal Season --- Like it or not we are entering the season of possible snow removal. Please be considerate of the need and pitch in when you can. A shovel, broom, and salt are provided near the west door of the Narthex. If you have a blower or scoop, the trustees will be forever grateful for the help.
