St Paul Dubuque Friendship Tea
Saturday, March 25, 2023 the Mission Circle at St. Paul Dubuque hosted a Friendship Tea. Invitations were personally handed out to all the women. The day started with a song Bible study by Misty Lutz. She brought us back to our days in Sunday school, remembering the songs we sang and where they fit in the Bible. Next we worked on a service project for the Red Basket, which was put together by Kristie Fry, to help with those needing menstrual products. Information was given out and discussed about what LWML is and how Mission Circle is a part of this organization and the great projects it funds. We then served a wonderful meal of chicken salad croissants and salads.

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.
