Prayers for the People of Harney County
Please continue to keep the people of Burns Oregon and Harney County in your prayers through this time of fear and uncertainty. I received an e-mail this morning from Oregon Synod Bishop, Dave Brauer-Rieke, concerning the events that have transpired over the last month and the people who have felt their impact. In particular, we ask for prayers for Pastor Matt Littau and the congregations he serves: Paiute Reservation Church of Living Waters, Peace Lutheran Church and St. Andrew Episcopal Church. To read the Bishop’s powerful letter in its entirety, please click on the link below…

 Soul Collage is an experience of individuals working independently and together cutting images from magazines and other sources and then moving the images around until they seem to fit together. There is no artistic talent needed. This activity is especially powerful when created together with other women. It's a fun process, and everyone leaves the class knowing something new about herself or being validated for things she already knew.
Kathryn King, recommended by Pastor Laurie from our retreat, will be our facilitator.
When: 10:00am - 2:00pm, Saturday February 20th
Where: In the Worship area
What to bring: a pair of scissors if you can and
a sack lunch for yourself
What is provided: snack foods and drinks
all materials (except scissors)
Wear comfortable clothes!
You won't want to miss this opportunity to get to know ourselves and one another better!
Cost: $30 due by 2/14

Barrel of the Month
Baby Care Kits for
Lutheran World Relief (continues)
A Baby Care Kit from Lutheran World Relief is like a promise. It says to that baby, “Your needs will not be neglected by this world. You matter to us.”
When you send Baby Care Kits, you provide encouragement by welcoming these little ones into an international community that cares. Baby Care Kits are distributed as part of emergency and relief efforts as well as part of LWR health initiatives to encourage women to seek prenatal care.
Shirley Dinger has been assembling Baby Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief for years. It is clear when you ask her about it that this is one of her passions. Each year, Shirley and a friend assemble at least 80 kits that will benefit mothers and children all over the world. Shirley is hoping we will all join her in this effort!
We will be collecting items for these baby care kits in the barrel through the month of March. For a list of needed items, please go to the following link:
