Help for San Carlos Reservation Mothers and Babies

LWML President, Liz Cassidy, knew of the needs of the San Carlos Apache community near Globe, AZ, and had a contact there.  After talking to Sister Ruth, who works with a Social mission there, and in conjunction with Life Month, we decided to collect baby and early childhood items for the month of January.  Our members brought in baby clothes, afghans, onesies, etc. The church supported us with contributions of diapers, and gift cards, which we used to buy baby food and other needed baby items. The Quilters donated over 20 quilts to send along, and the Sunday School collected early childhood books and enclosed messages to the children of San Carlos.

God blessed us with a beautiful day in February, when my husband Adolf and I, with Liz, loaded our full size van FULL of boxes and bags of donations, even one bassinet!  We made the drive to Globe, where we met Sister Ruth in her van, and transferred all the items. She was so appreciative. She said one woman was due to have a baby in a week or two, and would put the bassinet to good use.  This was a good way to have the whole church involved in our Mission Project.

Thank you Mountain View Lutheran Church for your support!

February 2021 Church Council Highlights

MVLC COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

In order to have better communication between the Council and the Congregation, we plan to provide these Highlights after each monthly Council meeting. The following are the Highlights for February 2021.

  

• Looking forward to trying to return to some type of normalcy the Council is considering having an Easter Pancake Breakfast in April.

 

• In order to be able to utilize the Kitchen again, Charles Crafts is in the process of taking the Serve Safe License class to become the Kitchen Manager. Charles will hold the license but he will be looking for volunteers with Food Handlers License to help out in the kitchen.

 

• Charles Crafts has been enlisted as an Independent Contractor in the part-time position of Campus Coordinator (formerly known as Events/Facilities Coordinator).

 

• We are sure you have seen the work being done because the Fire Water Line had to be replaced. 17 feet of pipe was replaced. Insurance covers the cost of this expense after our deductible.

 

• Landscaping work will be completed on the property before Easter. For the outdoor Sunrise Worship Service we will bring in two loads of gravel to level out and refresh the area plus to cover the area from the water break.

 

• The MVLC Council Planning Session is set for Saturday, April 10th from 8:30 – 2. Location to be determined. A committee to prepare the agenda of Steve Kolling, Bonnie Gregrow-Weinlaeder, and Pastor Mark Friedrich was formed.
