Thankoffering Boxes

Save the Date

Please join us on Oct. 22 & 23 for the dedication of our Thankofferings.


Thankoffering worship is a time to celebrate, reflect, and give thanks for God's activity in our lives.


The Thankofferings that are collected each year help women of the ELCA participants and their congregations to reflect on their ministries and how they have been blessed. Listed below are just a few of the ways in which Thankofferings are used.


• Aid women and children living in poverty.


• Assist in the accomplishment of goals set by the women of the ELCA.


• Endow global training and development grants that provide health care, educational, and nutritional assistance to women in developing countries.


There are small boxes which are available to all women, in which they can put coins on a daily or monthly basis. These small boxes can be picked up at the entrance of the church. Women who would like to participate in the Services should call Betty Swenson.


Thank you to all who have so generously contributed yarn and cards to the Women's Prison Ministry.
