Stations of the Cross
Dale Burton installed our new Stations of the Cross in advance of Ash Wednesday, assisted by David Wedin. Dale was commissioned by Concordia to design and construct these new Stations, which are in keeping with our architecture and especially our crucifix. The cost of these new Stations has been covered by memorials and honoraria. A brass plaque, to be located in the Narthex, will commemorate these new Stations. 

ELCA Fabric Kits:  Fabric and Thread  Donations
We will be collecting fabric and thread in the Narthex for Lutheran World Relief fabric kits.
through June 2. Each kit contains two pieces of fabric (cotton or cotton blend only) and two spools of neutral thread.  Clean out your sewing rooms, go to fabric stores with coupons or look through store clearance bins for these donations. You can also donate money toward purchasing these items or for shipping (each kit is $1 to send).  Contact Delores, if you have questions or visit the fabric kit website.

Prayer Shawls Needed
As a vital part of our ministry here at Concordia, we give prayer shawls to people who need prayers and support. We have patterns in the office for either knitting or crocheting. You can also use your own pattern. Shawls can be dropped off at the office.

Caring Ministries:  Visit members, send cards and help people to appointments.

Communion Bread Bakers Needed
Our standard practice for for the Lord's Supper will be using bread made by our members and wine poured from a common chalice.  If you would like to bake bread for an upcoming service, we have a sign up sheet and the recipe posted on a kiosk in the Narthex.  The recipe is also on the Luther Seminary website.

Serving Coffee for a Good Cause - Equal Exchange Coffee
Please help us support the ministry in sponsoring fair wages for small farmers around the world.  You can find out more about this effort or purchase coffee at http://www.equalexchange.coop/interfaith-program.
