The Women of the Church will celebrate Thankoffering the weekend of September 30 and October 1 at all weekend services.  The congregation will have an opportunity to take part in this ministry.   There are several items still needed to complete these kits that will be sent to Lutheran World Relief:  #2 pencils, 2 1/2″ erasers, ball point pens, blunt scissors, pencil sharpeners, 70 sheet notebooks, ruler with centimeter markings, bath-sized bars of soap, bath-sized towels, hand towels, large tooth combs, metal nail clippers, and adult sized tooth brushes.  During the service, we will ask you to come forward and place the items in a wooden box located on the steps to the altar.  The quilts that the women have been working on throughout the year will also be on display and blessed at each service.  Please bring your Thankoffering envelope with you to worship if you haven’t already done so.
