W/ELCA News – January 2012

The years go by so fast! Here we are again, ready to start a new year of fellowship, working together, praying together and sharing. The women of our congregation are extremely dedicated and really work well together, which makes my job as president really easy. I'm extremely thankful for all of the officers and helpers that work so hard during the year to accomplish so may tasks and goals! A special thanks to Rae for accepting vice-president and Marge and Dorothy for continuing on with their secretary and treasurer positions. Thanks also to the many mission officers for their roles in the new year!

 

As we take a look back, we want to thank June Vix for all of the work she did this past year in serving as our president. You did a great job. Thank you!

 

June hosted our allocations meeting at her home. A wonderful brunch was served and then we got down to business. We allocated $11,000 to various groups and organizations. A complete list will be available at the annual meeting. This was possible due to the various undertakings that the W/ELCA women took on during the year. As you read last month, the annual fall supper is a huge fundraiser! The fall bazaar and other events during the year have become traditions as well and provide income for us to distribute at the end of each year. Various projects at our Cross of Christ Church have been funded over the years by funds from W/ELCA. It's a great mission work!

 

Our annual W/ELCA Christmas program and installation of officers was held on Dec. 9th. Music was provided by Pastor Lane and Lynn Meyer as we sang along with Christmas songs. Mary Circle had the program with a reading by Margaret Anderson and ginger bread was served with coffee. Thank you to everyone that helped. It was a very nice afternoon.
