GriefShare
Facilitator | Judy Plica
GriefShare, a faith-based grief recovery group, is a community for those who are dealing with grief and the loss of a loved one. There is an afternoon and evening session. Please see the calendar for times. There is no need to sign up – all are welcome. The sessions are designed to be continuous from week to week or utilized on an as-need basis. Help and encouragement is available as we journey from mourning to joy. Come and experience God’s healing touch for your sorrowing heart.

Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America
(WELCA)
OUR MISSION AND PURPOSE: As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society and the world.
Bible Study: This group is founded in Bible Study. Our study is taken from the magazine Gather. A subscription for the magazine can be obtained through Augsburg Fortress. Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 11:30 A.M. for Bible Study.
Service to Others: This group supports many Lutheran World Relief (LWR) projects. Gatherings are held the second Tuesday of the month at 9:30 A.M. to make mission quilts for LWR. At other times throughout the year, items are collected for LWR health kits, sewing kits and layette kits. The use of the Bar Code Tracker System has shown that Reformation’s quilts have reached the countries of India, Georgia, and Mali. In September 2018, we reached 1000 quilts!
