Save Those ‘Best Choice’ UPC Labels – LWML asks that you continue to save your ‘BEST CHOICE’ UPC Codes. Cut them off the product label & place them in the container located on the left end of the Narthex cabinet. We get $$ for our missions
Did You Know? – LWML collects used eyeglasses, sunglasses, and soft cases to be used for MOST Ministries. These go to foreign countries to be used to help people during summer mission trips. Many people are helped to see who have often been unable to see most of their life. We also collect stamps, no ordinary stamps or Christmas stamps, but if you receive correspondence with a special stamp, please save for LWML. Please send a large portion of the stamp as they have to be cut down a certain way. There are boxes on the counter in the narthex for collection of these items. We also collect used printer cartridges. For a list of these cartridges please see the list on the counter as well. Thank you for all you do to help LWML in all our endeavors.
Food Pantry Request – We are always in need of any non-perishable food items if you would like to donate. If you prefer to make a monetary donation instead of donating food, just mark the donation as “Food Pantry” and put it in one of the offering plates. The Caring Ministry will do the shopping for you!
Redeemer Church Members – Our congregation pays for and provides the monthly Lutheran Witness magazine and quarterly Portals of Prayer for those who want them. If you would like to make a contribution to offset the cost of either or both of these, you may do so. The Lutheran Witness now costs $25.00 a year. Portals of Prayer costs $10.00 a year for the "pocket" (small) size and $20.00 a year for the larger "digest" size. For those who have offering envelope boxes, envelopes for contributions toward these periodicals can be found near the front of these boxes. If you are not receiving Lutheran Witness and would like to, or if you are receiving it and no longer wish to do so, please notify Marge or Pastor Ryan in our church office. Thank you.
LWML LOOKING AHEAD
On August 20, at 10:00 am, the LWML will again be hosting a Ladies’ Brunch here at the church. Mark your calendars now and watch for further information in the Church Bulletin. All ladies are invited to join us for this event!!
LWML will soon begin collecting members’ donations of the Lutheran World Relief (LWR) kits or contents. We will be putting a current list of items needed in the marked, clear Lucite holder located left of the church mailboxes on the LWML wall in the Narthex, if you want to help support this mission. Donations will need to be turned in by mid-September, so we can pack our boxes for early October shipping. We bring this to your attention now, as the school supplies are already being stocked on some store shelves!
Happy 250 years, America!!
