*The ladies of WELCA are accepting donations of bar soap. Please place your donation of wrapped soap in the basket in the narthex.
A note on LWR – Last year, donated gifts of love reached 838,302 people around the world. This year, the need is even greater, and is expecting a 15% increase for requests of Quilts and Kits in 2011. It will be a challenge to meet these needs, but through God all things are possible.
Thank you in advance for your donation to this ministry. These gifts of your hearts and hands continue to help meet the needs of communities around the world.
Envelopes are available for your monetary donation. Christ calls us to give love, care and help to those who are less fortunate through out the world and in our communities.

Over the years the Women of the ELCA at St Paul (Ladies Sewing Group) have donated hundreds of home made quilts to Appalachia Relief, local burnout victims, hurricane victims in Florida and New Orleans, Lutheran World Relief and the local Catholic Charities. The Ladies sewing group meet every 2nd Wednesday of the month to construct the quilts. All are welcome!
Here We Sew Again!
The ladies of St Paul, since the ‘40's, have taken on a labor of love by making quilts for Lutheran World Relief. Recently Lil Schultz found some records dating from January 1974. As of October 2007 the St Paul Sewing Ladies have made a total of 1,780 blankets!! (since records are not available prior to that year, the total is much higher! ( Way to go Ladies!!). On October 22nd 2008, several ladies met in the basement to finish up this year’s efforts. They boxed up 158 blankets, 14 health kits, 12 school kits, 13 pounds of soap and 13 pounds of material.
