Dear Friends,
The chosen Study will be--"Bad Girls of the Bible", by  Liz Curtis Higgs. We have enjoyed her work, previously.  The tentative plan would be to start April 10th (the week after Easter).  The book has 10 chapters.  We would divide our Study into 5 sessions in the Spring.  God-willing, we would complete the other 5, in the Fall of 2021.

Spring Dates--April 10, 2021; April 24, 2021; May 8, 2021; May 22, 2021; June 5, 2021
   
Any questions, you can call me at --651-207-8387  
Blessings and love,  Joy 

L.I.FT. is open to all ladies - members & Friends!

Home missions faithfully moving forward
Two young WELS mission congregations launched their first public worship services in September.
 
“Even in the face of the difficulties of COVID-19, our home missionaries and members are faithfully sharing God’s Word in weekly worship following appropriate health guidelines,” says Rev. Keith Free, administrator of WELS Home Missions. “Extra efforts are worth it so that we have more opportunities to tell people about Jesus Christ.”
 
On Sept. 13, Hope, Houston, Texas, held its opening service in a local dance studio. WELS Board for Home Missions authorized funding for this new mission in a growing urban neighborhood in Houston in May 2019. Rev. Andrew Nemmers was assigned to serve the congregation, which is made up of a dedicated group of core members that have been meeting monthly for Bible study since 2015.
 
Nemmers notes, “Even though this was not how we anticipated starting worship—several core group families unable to join in person, everyone wearing masks, and social distancing—our first service was definitely successful! After months of not being able to gather in person, it was incredibly uplifting to be able to gather together around the Word again. We are excited to see what God has in store for us as we continue worshiping together and reaching out to our community.”
 
Members of Sure Foundation, Brandon, S.D., opened their ministry center on Sept. 18 and then held their grand opening worship service at a local hotel on Sept. 20.
 
“After a year of meeting, working, connecting, and planning, there was a great deal of excitement from the core group of Sure Foundation as well as some prospects from the Brandon community,” says Rev. Craig Wilke, Sure Foundation’s home missionary. “We are incredibly excited to continue to reach out to the community of Brandon and to proclaim the comforting message of our Sure Foundation, Jesus.”
 
Two other home mission congregations celebrated milestones on Sept. 27. Christ the Rock, Hutto, Texas, and St. Paul, Adams-Friendship, Wis., both dedicated their new worship facilities. WELS Church Extension Fund, Inc., helped provide funding for both locations.
