Quilting
After taking the summer off the quilters are back making Lutheran World Relief Quilts and Prayer Quilts.   We will meet on Sept 24, Oct 8, Oct. 22, and Nov12 in the fellowship hall from 9 to noon.  Everyone is invited to join us for the fellowship and workshop.  No experience is necessary.  For more information contact Carol B.

Quilting Items Needed
In order to make our LWR quilts we need material, old sheets, old mattress pads or similar items.  Each quilt is composed of three layers: Top, Filler, Backing.  Material is cut into squares or strips and turned into quilt tops.  Old sheets, tablecloths, or mattress pads is used as fillers.  Sheets or large pieces of material become the backings. 
 If you have any items you think we could use please bring them to church.  Contact Carol B. if you have any questions.  Thank you.  CLC Quilters.

 Social Ministries

Social Ministry Corner
our donations at work

In January of this new year, The Social Ministry Committee donated $300.00 from our ELCA Hunger/Disaster fund to Lutheran Disaster Response for U.S. Storms. Flooding and tornadoes have wreaked havoc across the Midwest and South. Heavy rainfall and record flooding have forced the evacuation of hundreds of people, claiming the lives of at least 24 people, threatening crops and livestock and putting scores of homes underwater after days of unusual winter weather.
It is important for us at CLC to know how Lutheran Disaster Response has used our donation. Lutheran Disaster Response is working with social ministry organizations and synods that serve the impacted communities in shaping the response to this dynamic situation across multiple states. This initial response of neighbor helping neighbor and organizations responding in their own communities will be expanded by their long-standing network of support to assist those impacted. Together they will work to rebuild lives.
Please continue to pray for all those affected by the tornadoes and flooding. Remember those who have lost everything and all those working to respond. Because of your generous offerings of prayers and financial support, the ELCA walks alongside disaster survivors on the long road to recovery.
