Christ’s Crafters
The crafters are busy working on items for the upcoming Craft and Bake Sale
in December.
They plan to again make soup mix and cookie dough mix jars to sell, and are looking for monetary donations to cover the cost of ingredients.
Checks should be made out to “WELCA Lutefisk Dinner” with “Craft and Bake Sale” in the memo line. Checks can be dropped off in the church office or
mailed to Barb Mielke at PO Box 97, Preston, MN 55965.
They are also looking for baskets or containers to assemble the gift baskets, as well as to use for displaying items for sale. Baskets can be dropped off in the quilt room in the church basement.
The group invites others to join at any time (no specific skills required)! They plan to meet at 1:00 PM on October 5 and 19.

Donations
The Christ Lutheran Church Women’s Circle will be collecting donations on an on-going basis for the Bundles of Love Charity.
All collected items will be donated to the local Bundles of Love group in Chatfield. They work with Social Services in Fillmore, Houston, and Winona counties to distribute the bundles where needed. Donations of clothing, fabric, and other supplies can be left in the church office.
Clothing can be gently used provided it is clean and in like-new condition. They also accept handmade items such as baby quilts, knit or crocheted items, etc. The local chapter in Chatfield makes many of the items included in the bundles. They can use donations of fabric (cotton, polar fleece, flannel, cotton, cotton blend knit), serger thread, and washable yarn of all weights (no wool/mohair). Additional information as well as patterns can be found on the Bundles of Love website: www.bundlesoflove.org If you have questions, contact our local liaison, Diane Johnson at 507-765-4447.
