A Thank You Message from Pastor Sandra Demmler D’Amico
As I reflect on this past year I have a lot of thanks and appreciation to share.

I am thankful for the gifts of help and leadership. These contribute towards making our ministries so active and vibrant. Their continued growth and strength are testament to this.

I am thankful for your amazing teamwork! ILC is comprised of many unseen heroes. Those that anticipate the needs of myself and the Church are daily reminders of God’s clever work!

I am thankful for your generosity…..
Generous with your time, help with the property, donations for the needy, help with food and of course help with our fundraising.

You bring a lot of heart (and sometimes donuts!) and it is truly appreciated.

Join us for worship this Sunday, Jan. 21, to continue celebrating the gifts of ILC!
An Update from Bob Sendling
Bob Sendling sent us a happy update on his return home and his plans to resume his Thursday evening meditation group in mid March.
 
Bob said "I am currently studying the Tibetan Book of Death and Dying in preparation for a deep dive into the subject of loss with this wonderful group."

We look forward to Bob's return and the return of the Thursday evening meditation group!

Still Collecting Blankets & Towels
We received a very sincere thank you note from the Society of St. Vincent DePaul for ILC's donations of blankets and towels. Read the thank you note here .

We continue to invite ILC members to look for new or gently used blankets, quilts, and towels that we may share with love. The blankets and towels will be shared with Pleasant Street Rest Home, St. Vincent DePaul, or an organization in Vermont. Donations can be dropped off in the sanctuary or church offices.
