Women's Retreat: May 18 & 19
Our Synodical Women are planning a Retreat with
the Milwaukee Area Synod for this coming spring,
May 18 & 19. This will be held again in Watertown, at Immanuel Lutheran
Church. For details, click here.
 Ushers
Needed!!
A change we will be experiencing this year is the organizing of USHERS. It
will no longer be listed as a duty of the women circle groups. It will be
set up on a rotating schedule and published similar to the greeter and lay
reader schedules. We will be calling members to serve as ushers for one week
during the year. Depending on the number of volunteers you may be ushering
once every four months or so. If you are interested in this important
ministry to EKLC please indicate that on your gifts of service survey
(available in narthex) or contact the church office. Thank you!!
Prayer Chain
If you would like to receive prayer requests from the EKLC Prayer Chain by
email (or phone) please contact the church office, 608-423-3017. Together in
Prayer.
Good Samaritan Fund
As people in our congregation and community
continue to suffer the impact of our recent recession, our congregation has
a unique opportunity to care for its neighbors. If you are in need of
assistance because of a recent job loss or other financial struggles, please
know that you can apply to the EKLC Good Samaritan Fund for financial
assistance. If you are a family who would like to help out people who are
struggling, but you haven't quite figured out how, consider making a gift to
the Good Samaritan Fund. You will know that the money is being used to help
people buy food and gas, cover housing expenses, or bring relief from high
medical bills and other expenses. The Good Samaritan Fund is currently very
low on funds. We invite regular and substantial gifts to the fund in order
to continue to care for our neighbors in need.
