Foundation Update for February, 2023
In 2022 the First Lutheran Foundation Committee ELCA Ministries was able to help fund the Teen Clothes Closet and the Helping Hands Fund with monetary donations to help with their missions. We were also able to contribute money to the Quilters who make the beautiful quilts and also to the group of members who knit the Prayer Shawls. Since First Lutheran was in need of either updating or purchasing new computers, the Foundation was able to help support with some funds to fulfill this need too.

Welcoming Joy
The holidays can be so stressful as we try so hard to make it picture-perfect inside and outside of our homes. I know I tried that picture-perfect look, especially when my girls were young. The pressure to do it all and have it all affects most of us. I have had to cut back on doing a lot of things that I did when my girls were young, but one of the things I will not give up is an advent study, wreath and/or calendar. It helps me remember what the season is all about.

Wider Welcome, Deeper Love
What does this mean? This is a question that I have gotten a lot in the last couple of months. So often we want solutions…
