At the end of last year, the council approved to purchase a second automated external defibrillator (AED). At the February council meeting the council discussed the need to have people trained and willing to use it if a medical situation happens. We approved to host a CPR and AED class to current members of English Lutheran Church. The class will be open to members only and will come at no cost to you.

I have scheduled a class for April 24th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Village of Ellsworth Ambulance Hall. The class can hold up to 12 people. If the class fills up and there is enough interest, they will schedule another class.

English Lutheran is currently raising money to pay for our landscaping project. The grounds around the church are in need of repair, and we want to make our property look better. The fundraising goal for this landscaping project is $15,000. You can give a one-time donation or spread it out over time.

Please designate that your donation is for the landscaping project. We have envelopes in the back of the sanctuary that say, "Improvement Fund." There will be a special drop box for these donations.

On Sunday, April 2nd, we will be having a breakfast following the worship service.
We are looking for volunteers who can bring in food, people who can serve, and who can help clean up. There will be a sign up sheet in the back of the sanctuary. Contact the office with any questions!

Join us for Adopt-A-Highway on Saturday, April 29th, beginning at 9:00 am. We will clean our section of County Road C. Meet at church at 9:00.

Did you know we offer electronic giving?  You can make a one-time, weekly, monthly, or semimonthly donation.  Donations can be changed at any time.  You can use your credit card or have funds moved directly from your bank account.  We offer a variety of ways to set this up.

English Lutheran Church has a “Sharing Shed.” This is a place you can come to drop off items you wish to donate to someone in need. Donations accepted are listed below. No electronics, only necessities. Our shed is a small garden shed, so smaller items only, no furniture. Thank you for your generosity!

It is also a place you can come to take items you are in need of. There is no charge and no strings attached. The shed is not locked and can be accessed at any time. The Sharing Shed is located just outside the back entrance of the church. Please feel free to help yourself at any time.

If you have a loved one who is going through a tough time and could use the comfort of being wrapped in prayers with a blanket/shawl, you may provide a prayer shawl for them.

Please contact the church office if you need a shawl. There is no cost for the shawl.
