LWML Ladies Guild will meet at noon in the Education Building on Wednesday, February 6th. Remember to bring your own lunch as we fellowship before our meeting begins at 12:30.

Sunday, February 10th after both services will be our Valentine Bake Sale. Plenty of sweets to purchase for your Sweetheart.

It is not too late to make your plans to attend the LWML National Convention being held in Mobile, AL June 21-23. Special room rates and registration discount if you’re willing to work for a few hours while there. Plenty of info in the LWML Quarterly or on the LWML website. Also, looking for a young woman rep to represent the zone. Most of her expenses would be covered.

LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF QUILTERS - February 2019
 

The month of January has flashed past like a streak of lightning! The ladies were working on finishing 12 quilts in January. We also had a last sewing class on January 26th so the ladies could finish their quilt projects from last year. Now it's time the quilters get hopping to create more quilts for sale (still only $50!) and for Lutheran World Relief charities! We had 7 tops ready to work on and make into quilts for our last session on January, the 22nd. The challenge is on for at least 12 quilts this month of February. We will meet on Tuesday, Feb 12th and 26th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m... subject to change if needed, of course.

We are also looking for ladies to take on a challenge and create wall hangings of all sizes to decorate the church offices. The quilted hangings will also help to cut the E C H O we have in our new office. It will be a big help to Traci and show our love for Christian designs on quilts. Also, floral or other relaxing designs will be considered. These can be small banners, large banners, large wall hangings, small wall hangings. If you need help, the LWR ladies will help you. We can help you finish them if you need. They will need to be layered with batting, backing, and a rod to hang by. We hope you will give it some thought and catch one of us if you need an idea or just need a bit of help. All are welcome!

Thank you.
