The Year of Welcome
As I consider the upcoming program year being a “Year of Welcome”, I have been tasked with considering how this theme (and core value) can be carried out in worship and in our Caring Ministries.
Foundation Update for August, 2022
The Mabel Anderson Scholarship is awarded by First Lutheran’s Foundation Committee. The committee awarded seven scholarships to area high school seniors for the 2021-22 school year. These students from West Salem High School are Skylar Ferguson, McKenna Everson and Allison Harman. Onalaska High School recipients are Zoey Sander, Jasmine Odegard, Devyn Schmeling and Ashley Dahlke.
Welcoming All
I love meeting with my friends, it’s so much fun greeting one another and catching up with each other. Meeting someone new is still a little scary for me. I’m not a natural at meeting new people, and yet God has placed me in the position to do this almost weekly. I have to remember to do things that make others feel welcome and remind myself of what I should say. If God has given me the courage to help make people feel welcome in our church, he can do the same for you.
