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.
Quilt Bidding has begun!
- Put your silent bid in the container with your name.
We will continue this for several weeks.
Portals of Prayer for October-December are now available on the table along the east wall

Building Healthy Families: Parents, grandparents and pew buddies—where’s the best place to sit in church? In short, it depends! There are definite advantages to various seats throughout a sanctuary or worship space. If you have an infant who finds comfort in movement, a spot near the back where you can easily stand and sway or walk around may be right for your family. If you have littles who find it difficult to stay engaged in the service, sitting close to the front where they can see what’s going on could help improve focus. Sitting near the aisle might also help kids to see and take part in worship, whereas others may benefit from being “locked in” toward the center of a pew, not having an escape route. Try out a few different places and see what works best for you and your crew! Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
