Bethany Lutheran Church – West Branch, Iowa

This Sunday, September 10, you are invited to wear your yellow “God’s Work. Our Hands.” shirts if you have them.  The following projects are planned this year.

• Set up Great Hall for Ugandan Thunder concert Monday night. This will follow fellowship.

• Assist quilters in making quilts that provide comfort to many people.

• Yard work around the West Branch Public Library (small group of people needed). Supplies will be provided by Jamie Zimmerman.  Simply come with your work gloves.  An extra truck would be helpful for removal of yard waste.

• Yard work around the church grounds. Bring work gloves and items such as a rake, trimmers, shovel, pruning shears, etc.

• Hymn sing at Crestview Nursing and Rehabilitation at 11:00 a.m. Arrive a few minutes early to gather in the entry way. No singing experience required.  Just show up and have fun.  We will sing several hymns and be done by 11:30 a.m.

Yesterday, we stood hand-in-hand as prayers were lifted up in worship for all in Texas and other Gulf Coast areas experiencing torrential rains, flooding, and other damage from Hurricane Harvey. This Sunday, September 3, we will take a special offering during worship to be directed to Lutheran Disaster Response. If you can’t attend and want to donate you can send in a check or you can give directly by clicking here to be directed to Lutheran Disaster Response’s website.

Join us September 11th at 6:30 p.m. in the Great Hall as we welcome the Ugandan Thunder youth choir who will perform music featuring African and American songs.  This is sure to be a fun night.  Click on the link below to see a poster with additional information.
