2023 WOMEN OF THE WORD ANNUAL REPORT
In January, our congregation started making preparations for our 125th Anniversary celebration, which was scheduled for May 21st, 2023. Many committees were formed, and the ideas and plans were set in motion. It was a very special time for us all!
We continue to meet for Bible study the first Tuesday evening of each month at 7:00 pm. We welcome anyone interested to attend.
Our quilting group continues to meet the third Monday and Tuesday of each month at 1:00 pm. You don't have to be an expert. I was told if you can tie a knot, we need you. We also are in need of double queen- or king-sized flat sheets, used for the backs of the quilts. The quilts that we make are donated to Crossroads, CASA, Camp Carrol Joy Holling for their quilt auction, which helps with camp expenses, and the Orphan Grain Train for their mission work. We also donate school backpack kits to the Orphan Grain Train. Every graduating senior from our congregation receives a quilt from our group. This year we donated 84 quilts and 32 school kits as our mission projects.
In September, ladies from the four local churches served and appreciation meal at the fire hall for all the volunteer firefighters, EMTs and their families. We wanted to let them know how important they are to our community.
On December 3rd, 13 members attended a Christmas service at Wanda Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Juniata. A lovely service and music from the Chorus of the Plains and the Cathedral Brass was enjoyed by all.
