Welcome

Cindy Wruke, our missionary in the Czech Republic, is the tech support missionary for the entire Eurasia region for our pastors and missionaries.  We have done Cinnamon Roll sales throughout the year, and special offerings when she visited in the fall.  Cindy is from Southern Wisconsin and has visited our congregation and touched our hearts to be prayer and financial supporters of her ministry. 

In response to the floods that have ravaged the plains of the Missouri River Valley a convoy of 6 trucks and a semi headed out to deliver some much needed supplies. They literally had tons of hay, fencing, animal health supplies, and cash on this trip, and several trucks had left earlier from this area also. 

In June, the lighting project was totally completed when three members went up to Gwinn, Michigan and put up the last two lights for their sanctuary. It was a full days work and they were able to complete it. As of right now we have nothing left to do at Victory Lutheran Church. Our quilters will continue to sew quilts for the Christmas distribution to the homeless and needy of Victory. We have been a part of that project for the last several years and took a load of quilts up in June with their new lights. Another shipment will go in November/December. Victory is our mission congregation in the district. 

Several people did a work day at Wisconsin Valley High School. Painting, repairs and general help was given to get at those little jobs for them that would make their work easier. Two Merrill members joined our team to lend a hand. 

A work day was held at Mount Olive in Wausau, Sept. 29. During our time there; we helped fill food packs that will feed over 16,000 people. Again, we had a team of volunteers that did all sorts of jobs that afternoon and we learned what it was like to be a work team of about a hundred at a time.
