2024 Marshalltown Fall Zone Rally Report
The Marshalltown Zone Rally was held on October 5, 2024, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Chariton. The theme was, God’s Faithfulness to all Generations. There were 41 ladies and 2 clergy who attended. The theme verse was Psalm 71:18 “So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.” Zone Pastoral Counselor, Rev. Robert Ricard led Responsive Prayer to open the rally. Rev. Nathan Knaus led the Bible study. Our speaker was Toni Larson, Social Worker from Lutheran Family Service of Fort Dodge. Toni spoke about Dementia and Caregiving. An offering was taken for Lutheran Family Services as well as for the zone treasury. A book sale was held with books being offered for a donation to mites. Elections were held for the offices of Treasurer and President. LouAnn Perkins was elected Treasurer. There were no nominations for President. (Tammi Christensen has served as president for one term and would like to step down.) Rev. Ricard installed LouAnn Perkins. The zone is responsible for the 2025 District Retreat. Several groups have volunteered to head committees for retreat planning but the zone is in need of retreat co-chairs. The half day rally concluded with lunch. The Spring Rally will be at Redeemer
Lutheran in Marshalltown.
2022 Convention Banner
Ann Roach of Trinity Lutheran Church, Chariton, Iowa volunteered to create a banner to
represent the Marshalltown Zone at the Iowa East District Convention in June of 2022. The
Convention theme was, Anchored in Christ. Ann used the convention theme verse, Hebrews
6:19 “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” as her inspiration for
the banner as well as the first verse of Hymn 583, God Has Spoken By His Prophets: “…In the
world’s despair and turmoil, One firm anchor holds us fast: God is King, His throne eternal;
God the first and God the last.” The banner was carried in the procession during the Divine
Service at the convention in Cedar Falls on June 10th. Thanks be to God for Ann’s artistic
talent and her labor to create this beautiful banner!
2021 Marshalltown Zone Fall Rally
Trinity Lutheran Knoxville LWML
Our LWML group, 8 in attendance, met at Trinity Lutheran Church, Knoxville on April 17th and watched the Donna Snow videos from the LWML.org website on Overflowing Abundance bible study. We got through session 1 and decided to do session 2 also! They were really good. And even though they were taped last year, it was still applying to stuff we are going through today with COVID.
