Since the restrictions regarding Covid-19 put limits on the number of people who can be together and other things, the W-ELCA North Conference Summer Event will be postponed until 2021. We trust this would be in everyone's best interest now. Be safe all and know God is with us no matter how long this pandemic lasts.
Thanks, Deb Sveen & Living Hope, Ettrick

Celebrate the bold women in your life!
Bold Women’s Day—observed annually on the fourth Sunday of February—celebrates all Lutheran women who have acted or are acting boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ. Some women are bold in their unceasing prayers. Other women are bold in their service to those in need. Still other women are bold in their advocacy or through their hospitality. Whether we live out our bold story of faith in the workplace, family home or community, our faith compels us to make a difference in the lives of others. It’s all about living out our baptismal call, about being a disciple of Christ.
