People are still needed to provide milk, bread/rolls, fruit, desserts, lettuce, salad dressing and servers. If you can help, sign up on the ramp way bulletin board or call Gregg or Beth at 846-3588. Food needs to at church by 6 pm the day of the meal. Servers leave around 6:30 and are usually back by 9:30 pm.

Help Wanted:

Committee Volunteers: If you are interested in helping on one of the various committees of our Church Council please call the church office.

Quilt Tying: Quilt group meets the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 9:00 am. Quilters for the Lutheran World Relief are in need of extra hands to help with the tying of quilts. You need not be an expert - you will receive a quick lesson in the tying technique - plus you will be in on the fellowship of working with such an industrious group.

Altar Guild: The Altar Guild is the group of our congregation that is responsible for preparing the altar for Sunday worship and other services. Each Sunday two people prepare and setup communion and clean up following the service. The Altar Guild sets up the appropriate altar cloths and baptismal items. Once a month they polish the brass, check hymnals and pencils, etc. If you are interested, please call Jan Scholz 846-7772.

Nursery Staff: If you are interested in using the nursery or volunteering to staff the nursery, please contact the church office.

Coffee Hour Host/Hostesses: Coffee hour is held each Sunday between services. It's a great time to meet new friends, chat with old friends, be a listener, and find out about upcoming events. Please sign-up on the sheet on the ramp way bulletin board or call Bruce Larkin, 846-4685.

Grace Shelter House: We have learned there is a huge need for personal items to be distributed to the homeless men in Madison. A few suggestions: towels, underwear, socks, toothbrushes, shavers, deodorant or other toiletries. So if you are redecorating your bathroom with new linens, bring your gently used linens to church and place in the boxes in the narthex. Pick up some extra toiletries at the grocery store or undergarments at the department store. Contact Gregg or Beth Steinhauer 846-3588 if you have questions or want to volunteer for the meal.
