Artesian First Lutheran and community gals met Tuesday, April 24, at 6:30 p.m. at the church for Bible study and quilting. 

The evening began with a short business meeting. Deanna Dean read the treasurer’s report and noted a profit of $513.50 from the Easter bake sale. Reports were given on the March 20 quilting gathering, the group attending the Abbott House luncheon and a movie later in the afternoon, the Easter Bake sale, and the WWTS mission projects. A thank you was read from the Abbott House for donations they received from the group. A special thank you to Jerolyn Dean for decorating the cross at the church.  It looks beautiful.
