Quilt Blessing Sunday - October 24th

We are very much looking forward to our annual Blessing of the Quilts Sunday to be held on October 24th, during worship services. This is a time for everyone to see the crafty quilts the Quilting group has made. Not only will we be giving quilts to Lutheran World Relief which will be shipped to go where the need is greatest, some will remain in Boise. So, mark your calendars for Sunday, October 24th. We are in need for helpers to help box the quilts in the Narthex after the Special Congregation meeting on Sunday, October 24th. Also, drivers are needed to transport the quilts to Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church on October 25th.

Please contact Pat Phelps at 208-890-0706 if you can help.

Thank you in advance for your help!

All Saints Day

On All Saints Day, we give thanks and remember those who have completed their baptismal journeys on earth and now abide in their eternal home with God. During our on-line/in-person worship services we will acknowledge those who have gone before us in the litany of saints. If you would like a loved one who has died in the past year included in this litany, please contact the church office by October 28 at 208-344-3011 or office@ilcboise.org.
