Thank Offering Sunday

This was Thank Offering Sunday,  The women of the Lutheran church have been gathering in the setting of Thank Offering Services since the early 1900's.  We come together as faithful women, joyfully giving thanks and praise for what God has given us.  This year the service features prayers, hymns and litanies for other services in years past.  It was an opportunity to give thanks for the women of the First Lutheran Church.  The following are activities led by the women:  circles, quilting, knitting and crocheting, alter guild, Food shelves, and kitchen and funeral lunch committees.  Each year we display our quilts.  This year we also displayed out prayer shawls also.
