Bible study and quilting were held at the Artesian First Lutheran Church on Thursday, April 20, at 6:30 p.m. Those present were Judy Wormstadt, Jess Ludvik, Joyce Olson, Wanda Effling, Jean Wormstadt, Terri Moore, Deanna Dean, Vickie Scott, Judi Larson and Jerolyn Dean.
Judy Wormstadt led Bible study titled “Take Me to Your Leader” based on Psalm 23:1.   Jerolyn Dean served lunch following the Table Prayer.
A short business meeting was held. Treasurer Deanna Dean reported the bake sale held in conjunction with the CIA Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 15, was a big success. Thank you to all those who contributed baked goods.   We also thank all those who purchased baked items and the quilts that were sold. We are very appreciative for the community’s generous support of this fund raising event.  The funds raised are used to support the many mission projects of the women’s group.      Judi Larson has received Thrivent money that was used to purchase several Sparks Study Bibles.
The business meeting adjourned and the ladies spent the rest of the evening working on quilts. Several of the gals brought their sewing machines and work is progressing on the special quilt for the Lutheran Outdoors Quilt Auction held later this fall in Sioux Falls. Deanna Dean applied for and received Thrivent action money that was used to purchase fabric for this special quilt.
