It is time to renew subscriptions to the Lutheran Witness magazine. The Lutheran Witness is a publication of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and contains articles that interpret the contemporary world from a Lutheran Christian perspective. Pastor Rutz feels that this is an essential resource for every Lutheran Christian. Included in each issue is a section with articles about news and events in Iowa District West. The cost of a year’s subscription is $22.67. On the table in the narthex is a list of people who currently subscribe. If you wish to renew your subscription circle YES next to your name. If you do not wish to renew your subscription please circle NO. If you would like to begin a subscription please add your name to the list and provide your current address. For payment, use the Lutheran Witness envelope found in the front of your box of offering envelopes and place it in the offering plate by February 12.

Diapers that are needed are Huggies, Pampers & Luvs in sizes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, but any brand will be appreciated. The most requested diaper size is 3. All diapers can be dropped off at the Clinic or brought to church and put in a receiving blanket lined basket in the narthex.
