A Hand Quilted “Dresden Pattern” Queen Size (84”x 96”) Quilt was donated by the St. John’s Quilting Ladies for a fundraiser to St. John’s. You will have a chance to bid on it for several weeks. The proceeds earned from this fundraiser will help with the expense of the new sound system. This item was made many years ago by Pat Eimers, Eunice Meyer, Bev Skadburg, Betty Roed, Connie Espe, Linda Kerkove, Marge Lavrenz and Cardene Parsons. Quilt is on the ladder rack on the east wall.

Building Healthy Families: A research project conducted with college age students in the Midwest found that most of them reported having an important relationship with grandparents or significant elders who influenced their values, goals, and life choices and gave them a sense of self, roots, and tradition. Grandparents and older members of our church family, do you know how important you are? Make sure the young adults in your family and congregation who have gone off to college or are returning to high school this month continue to hear from you. Now, more than ever, they need your love and support – even if they’re not asking for it! Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
