Dubuque Fall Rally Pictures
The Dubuque Zone Fall Rally was held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Guttenberg on October 8, 2022.
After a short break during which we moved to the lower level, Deaconess Faith Swenson talked to us about “What is a Deaconess?” Faith shared personal experiences of her work at College Hill Lutheran Church and explained some of the duties Deaconess’ have. Some are care for the physical needs of the congregation freeing up Pastors to minister and teach, serve overseas, care for and educate women, lead groups in Bible Study and music and pray for congregations.
Lunch of hot turkey sandwiches, relish, chips and a delicious selection of bars was served by the Trinity Ladies.
The Christian Life committee then encouraged us all to attend the National Convention in Milwaukee on June 22-25, 2023 with a cute skit about what Milwaukee and the convention has to offer us.
Gloria Rattenborg invited the ladies to Our Savior in Manchester for the spring rally in April.

Twice a year the Women of Our Savior LWML make visits to our Church Family Shut Ins. Our Christian Growth Committee prepares a devotion and snack baskets or plates to us on the visits. The ladies go out in twos or threes to visit, do the devotion and leave the snacks with the member. The visits are about a half hour and very enjoyable by all. The LWML then holds a regular meeting and share highlight of our visits with each other. We had six home visits in September.
