Heartfelt Thank You!!  Coffee and Rolls will be served following the church service on Sunday, June 25th in Honor of Rev. Russell Reimers and family.  This is to thank him for the many trips to Burt to serve us this past year.

Blessing of the Quilts will be held on Sunday, June 11th at 3 p.m. at the historic Blakjer Lutheran Church in Lone Rock. We will have 60 quilts on display prior to the service. These quilts will be distributed to the Dept. of Defense Stand Down for Homeless Veterans in September.   Refreshments will be served at the Lone Rock Legion following.  Sponsored by the Lone Rock and Ringsted American Legions Auxiliaries.

 

Building Healthy Families:  Have you noticed that a lot of people around you are getting older, even if you don’t seem to be? You’re right! We are living longer than ever before. By 2050 the number of people in the United States over 65 will more than double to 70 million people. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans will fit this category, up from 1 in 100 in 1900. Lutheran Family Service is working to support those in the role of caregiver for a spouse or elderly family member as they care for their loved one at home. If you have an interest in helping or supporting this work, please call your closest LFS office.  Lutheran Family Service
