WANTED: QUILTERS - JOIN A DEDICATED GROUP OF WOMEN
​MAKING MISSION QUILTS -
Quilting every Monday at 1:00  in the Church Basement

QUILTING ITEMS NEEDED:
Sheets and fabric are needed for quilting as soon as possible. Sheets
should be in good condition and may be any size, color, or type of fabric except something stretchy or silky. Fabric should be fairly large pieces so that very little sewing would be needed to make a back. Drapes and curtains can also be used. If you have anything to donate, please take it to the quilting room in the basement or leave it on the pew by the door if you are unable to carry it downstairs. Thank you! 


FLCW Needs:
THANKOFFERING JARS
Keep working on filling your
Thankoffering jars with
​loose change.
Rebecca Circle (10:30 first Wednesday) and Naomi Circle (4:00 p.m. second Wednesday), both use the Bible Study found in the Gather magazine.  All women of First Lutheran are welcome to attend either circle group.  Contact gathermagazine.org to get the print or digital version of the magazine.
 
The Gather magazine lesson for July and August is “For such a time
as this—Lessons from Esther”, by author Kay Ward.  In this three-session summer study, we’ll explore the book of Esther—one of the latest writings of the Old Testament.
