Altar Guild
The basic function of the Altar Guild is to take care of all items pertaining to the altar. This group deals with the paraments, altar candles, organizing the baking of bread for communion, and trains people to set up and clean up for communion. New members are always welcome and we meet on an “as needed” basis. For more information contact the church office
Deborah Circle
We meet the third Tuesday of each month, at 1:00pm in the Friendship Room in the Church. The purpose of our Circle is a bible study group. Our Circle chooses 1-2 persons who are in a nursing home and takes them gifts or treats on special occasions and holidays. We provide a meal for a Circle member during a time of bereavement or medical condition and send flowers. Our offering each month goes to the mission of the month at the church. If you would be interested in joining our Circle please contact First Lutheran Church.
Friendship Circle
The Friendship Circle meets the first Sunday of each month, September through June at 2:00 pm. We meet at First Lutheran in the Friendship Room. We are a circle that centers our Bible studies on the Lutheran Woman of Today. Each year we chose a mission to work for such as The God’s Child Project and the Marshall Islands Salvation Army. We sew school bags and donate school supplies to be shipped to World Relief. We are a circle of about 15 to 20 women who enjoy fellowship and coffee during our Bible Study. New members are always welcomed! For more information about our circle please call Linda Anseth, at 663-2933.
Heart River & Ruth Circle
The Heart River Circle organized in 1907 and have met every first Wednesday of the month since then. Some of our members are forth generation. We’ve done many projects over the years.
