Save the date! “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday will be Sunday, September 9, 2018. This day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life – flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. You work every day to make your community a better place. Let us continue doing this work together in 2018!

- Mary Wyrick will be putting together “ Car Care Packages” in the Fellowship Hall -all ages can participate. These are bags you keep in your car and hand out to those in need.
- We will be making tied beds for the North Bay Animal Services. With the change in management, they are in need of donations. All ages are welcome to participate. *Anyone who wants to donate fleece, or has any questions, please contact Athena Labberton.
- We are also trying to find knitting or crocheting enthusiasts to knit or crochet scarves. The purpose is to leave them around town, in trees, on fences, anywhere where people can take them. They would have an invitation to the warmth and beauty, and a note that it came from Elim. Details are still being worked out...but we gotta get knitting or crocheting.
