They will also help members get any type of medical help that they need if they are having a problem. Books with drug names and precautions are also available.

We support World Hunger and each month on the first Sunday we bring non-perishable food for The Sharing Place at Lutheran Child and Family Services. Dorothy Linke ably handles the Red Basket Room. This is the area that people bring anything that they no longer need but could be used by someone else. Dorothy finds homes that are in need of whatever we bring her. Occasionally there is a plea for a special need and the congregation always responds to that plea. For more about the Red Basket Room giving, click here to view the annual report. |
