September Happenings 2021
After a year and a half since the Covid 19 Pandemic started, the WELCA Board had its long-anticipated first meeting on August 3, 2021. It was wonderful to gather and share fellowship. We are still in unpredictable times with the Covid pandemic/Delta variant but are hopeful in continuing our activities and fundraising work.
The NE MN Synod Women's Organization is also starting their activities with their 2021 Fall Gathering on September 11 in Grand Rapids, MN. All women are invited to attend. For this gathering our Laurentian Conference will be collecting foster care kits for children (sizes 3T-5T). The kits include the following: Backpack, throw blanket, pajamas, socks, underwear, toothbrush/toothpaste, comb/brush, stuffed animal, small toy, book. These kits can be designated to be given locally or synod-wide. If you are able to contribute or have any questions, please let me know.
The mission work of the bandage rollers and assembling various kits started earlier this summer. This group of dedicated volunteers locally and from nearby communities meet every Tuesday morning at 8:30 to 12:00 at OSL, but you're welcome to come as your schedule allows. It's a great time for fellowship and creating new friendships.
