American Lutheran Church

Women have been an important part of our local church ministry since our founding in 1902. All women of the congregation are considered members of the American Lutheran Chruch (ALC) women. Women are involved in many aspects of our congregation including but not limited to: assisting with worship, Church Council, ALC Christian Learning Center Preschool Board, ALC Endowment Board, participation in fundraising for church property and improvements and mission projects, working as assisting in the care of the church kitchen, various Bible Studies, prayer groups, visitation, and more.

General ALCW meetings are open to all women of American Lutheran as well as to all women in the community and are held the first Thursday of each month (excluding January and July).

Church Circles We have two circles who meet monthly – the meeting place is normally the Church Fellowship Hall, All women are welcome to attend a Circle meeting,

• Orpha Circle meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 1:30 pm – President is Dorene Eckmann – phone is 599-2283
• Ruth Circle meets the third Tuesday of the month at 1:30 pmPresident is Janice Peterson – phone 352-4535

Quilting takes place each Tuesday beginning at 9:00 am and goes until noon or later if you desire.  All are welcome to come when you can, and stay for as long as you like. You do not need to know how to sew – we also need people to sort material, cut blocks, iron, etc.
