Prayer Chain

When times are dark and dreary, and no one seems to care, our Savior is our refuge, if we go to Him in prayer. In times of stress or trouble, give the Prayer Chain your message. Don't forget to call when prayers are answered. God loves to hear a prayer of praise and thanksgiving.

If you have a prayer request or would like to put someone on the Prayer Chain, contact Carol Lauher at 839-3373. If you are interested in being a part of this vital ministry, please let Carol know.

Gift Nook

The GIFT NOOK is stocked with greeting cards and napkins for most occasions. Individual cards are 50 cents each and the boxed cards range in price from $5 to $7.50.

Stamps for Bethel

Cancelled stamps are sent to the Bethel Institution in Germany. This hospital is dong a wonderful job of caring for mentally and physically handicapped people of all ages. As part of the therapy, residents remove the stamps and make them ready for resale to collectors. Remove stamps carefully from the envelopes. Just cut around them leaving a 1/4 inch margin all around so that the perforation remains intact. DO NOT try to skin them from the envelope. You may place your stamps in the box provided outside the church office.

Penny Jar

Put your pennies in the container in Neemann Hall. Coins will be used for shipping Lutheran World Relief kits where they are needed.

Mitten Tree

These mittens are given to children and adults in Dane County. All sizes can be made or purchased and/or used but in good condition. Mitten tree is placed in Neemann Hall in November and December.

Wheelchair & Walker Totes

Made for nursing homes. Contact Ruth Mahling at 257-0686.

Lap Robes

36 x 36 inch cotton for nursing homes. Contact Ruth Mahling at 257-0686.

Project Linus

Project Linus is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization with a two-fold mission:

First is is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets, afghans and quilts lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers."

Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.

  • The infant/child-size blanket can be made from fabric or yarn.
  • The blankets can be sewn (quilted), knitted or crocheted.

Since the summer of 2001 over 100 baby quilts have been made and given to this very special project!

Contact Jean Lande at 839-5569 for more information.
