Free Produce: Do you have extra fruits and vegetables from your garden? Place them on the Free Produce Table near the fellowship hall entrance to share with others throughout the growing season! Anyone is welcome to take what they can use - no cost, no sign-up, just a simple sharing of God's blessings. Let's care for one another in this small, but meaningful way. Any produce left longer than a week will be taken and donated to a local food pantry.
Vacation Bible School: Mark your calendars and saddle up for our 2025 Vacation Bible School. This year's Circle J Ranch VBS will take place August 11-15 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. Children will learn about God's Word through the eyes of a friendly ranch hand and his cowboy adventures. In addition to Bible stories and lessons, your child(ren) will sing fun songs, do crafts, eat snacks, and play games throughout this week-long program. This program is open to children going into grades Pre-K - 5th grade in the fall. Attendance is free and open to any family in the community. Please register using this link.
Save the Date and Save Lives: Our church will be hosting a Versiti blood drive on Saturday, August 16 from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Versiti is the sole blood supplier for our local area including Vernon Memorial Hospital. By donating at our blood drive, you'll be helping your friends, neighbors, and community members who may need the life-saving gift of blood. This is a great way to get English Lutheran's name out in the community and allows people to walk through our doors in a way that may not be as intimidating as a church service. Our hope in hosting these blood drives is not only to support a good cause, but also outreach to those who don't yet know the good news of the Gospel.
