Loads of Love - Saturday, April 4th

This event serves those with continuing and possibly expanded needs for additional support at this time. For this event:

• 73 bags have been prepared. Our target was 100, but we were limited based upon available toilet paper. Each bag has: 4 pack of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels, one tube of toothpaste, enough toothbrushes for each family member, one deodorant, one bar of soap, shampoo/conditioner combination, and one laundry soap. A limited number of diapers, wipes, and feminine hygiene products on hand as well.

• Around 6 people will staff this event. 2 people to hand a bags to people in their cars (not in the church building). 2 people to "run" bags from the building. 2 people to help direct traffic in and out of our parking lot.

• We will track of the number of participants, families, and number in each family that we are serving

Thanks to Paula Foster and Kathy Christiansen for organizing this event. And thank you to everyone who has helped with donations of products and funds.

A huge God-sighting, shared by many, is how great our worship services have been. They are put together by many people, but especially by Chris Rich using his incredibly talented gifts to pull all the pieces together. A matter of fact, one person outside the church, to remain unnamed because they belong to another church, wrote to Pastor Becky: "In my opinion, LOL's online worship should be the Gold Standard by which all other good Lutheran online worship is measured. It's so good. It's well done, but not overproduced or cookie-cutter/saccharine sort of "too perfect" way, but so well done with true authenticity." Chris, thanks for sharing tons of your time to help us all have a more meaningful worship experience online, that more people can access!

From Pastor Becky -

Laura Armitage has amazing baking skills! (as these pictures show)

This week she used her skills to make delightful treats and dropped them off at people's doors. At least three people mentioned how these were a real pick-me-up to their day.

For me personally, she really made my day by bringing me some sugar that was nowhere to be had when I did my shopping for the next two weeks.

Thanks Laura for sharing your gifts and for bringing my house some sugar!

Mary Lou asks for prayers for her niece, Katie. She continues her horrible journey with Aplastic Anemia. Katie's platelet and hemoglobin counts are down even more, therefore she is currently in for more blood transfusions. Her situation is becoming quite dire if things don’t turn around. She has basically no immune system. Just venturing outside and to the clinic is dangerous for her. Flowers that have come to the house have to be thrown away as they might carry mold or germs. Prayers that the immunotherapy drug regimen that she is on will be successful and that she is not exposed to anything in the process. Prayers for my brother and sister-in-law and Katie’s wonderful husband Bryan too.

Nancy Shinrock's 80th birthday is on Friday, April 3rd. Help her celebrate this special day by sending her a birthday card.

How are you and your family doing?

This is a stressful time for everyone. Even as we are kept apart by social distancing, it is important that we keep connecting with and praying for each other. We lift up all of our members and neighbors in prayer for safety and health. May God's peace be with us all.
