PROJECT FOR THE MONTH: Immanuel WELCA will be collecting different items each month for the sewing, school, health kits and layettes to be given to Lutheran World Relief. Your donation helps Lutheran World Relief get aid to people who need it. LWR health kits were changed to no longer include toothpaste.  Items can be placed in a collection box, labeled “LWR” which is located in the upstairs hallway across from the Family Room. Monetary donations should be brought to the church office.  Thank you to everyone who has donated this year! 

The Project for this month is the Hat and Mitten Tree / Kitchen Items.  Bring hats and mittens for the special tree in the Fellowship Hall.  These will be donated for children and adults for winter wear.  Also needed are kitchen supplies:  paper and cleaning products, dish detergents, Saran Wrap, plastic baggies (all sizes).
