LERT Training Are you and/or your church prepared for a natural disaster? How do you respond when you or others in your community lose their home in a natural disaster? If the tornado siren sounds off during a church service, what will you do? Are your elders trained in how to respond? Do your members know what to do? Are your church records protected if a tornado destroys your church? Iowa District West is taking the lead in offering LERT (Lutheran Early Response Team) trainings so you will have the answers to these questions. You are invited to attend the upcoming Jefferson LERT training or call Ellie Menz at 515-370-1159 to schedule a LERT training in your community
Life Quote: March 3 “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.” Mother Teresa – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life · www.lutheransforlife.org
A Mite box will be placed at the back of church through the month of March. The ladies would appreciate your donations through the month of March
Building Healthy Families: It has been two and a half weeks since the beginning of Lent. Did you find yourself sacrificing or committing to giving up something for Lent? When you find your commitment wavering, talk to God through prayer and ask for some of the strength, commitment and faith that Jesus had when he died on the cross for our sins. He promises to hear and answer you. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa Des Moines, IA (515) 251-4900
