WELCA News - Bethany
Mission Statement - To mobilize women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.
Our Thankoffering Service this year is on Sunday November 24th, during our regular church service.
What is a Thankoffering Service and why do we observe it?
Women of the Lutheran Church have been gathering in the setting of Thankoffering since the early 1900s. It is a traditon grounded in our celebration of community. We come together as faithful women joyfully giving thanks and praise for what God has given us. Our Thankofferings support the total outreach of the ELCA including congregational and global ministries and specific programs of the women's organization.
Thanks to those who helped with the luncheon for the family of Marlene Fish. We want to keep them in our prayers and may Marlene rest in peace.
Much appreciation to everyone who helped with the Baby Care Kits. We assembled 12 of them which means among other thing 48 cloth diapers.
