LADIES OF CLC - Come join the Women of the ELCA (WELCA) at their regular February meeting, Wednesday the 8th at 12:30 p.m. We will share a bowl of soup and some yummy breads and enjoy fellowship with our sisters-in-Christ. Our program topic will be "Broken Hearts - The Many Faces of Grief". What does grief look like? It comes in such a variety of colors and hues, and it wears many faces. Grief is more a part of life than many of us realize -- since loss is such a frequent life-companion. Grayce Tyszko will be our program presenter. No sign up needed, just come for soup, fellowship and a bit of learning about “Broken Hearts.”
COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
