These three now join Susie Johnson, Tom Welch, Lynnette Browder and Helen Welter in the service of training and supervising our Stephen Ministers. Please join us in celebrating the new leaders, as well as the current and past leaders, all of whom are dedicated to helping people who are experiencing difficult times in their lives.

Quilters and sewers: Join us for our next Quiltmakers gathering Saturday, March 2 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. We are devoting this time to completing a special project for the upcoming I-K WELCA Biennial Convention. Please bring your portable sewing machine, a lunch and enjoy the day with us. Prefer to sew quilt tops at home? Pick up a quilt top sewing kit from the display in the narthex and challenge yourself to complete and return a finished top in 30 days - then repeat. More tops sewn at home really helps to speed up the quilt making process, allowing those of us gathering at the parish to focus on sandwiching, sewing and tying. Questions? Call Pat Hamby at (317) 508-9015. First Communion Instruction: Pastor Ryan is offering First Communion instruction at 6 p.m. in the Luther Room on Wednesday evenings during Lent (March 13 - April 10). Children in fourth grade normally participate in these classes, but older children who haven t yet received the instruction are welcome and encouraged to attend as well. Participating students will receive their first communion during Maundy Thursday worship on April 18 at 7 p.m. Questions? Contact Pastor Ryan: prryan@rlcindy.org. A note about children communing at RLC: We normally offer first communion instruction for 4th graders, however, parents are free to discern whether their children may begin communing at an earlier age. Parents may wish to include one of the pastors in that discernment process, and we encourage you to let us know if your child is going to commune earlier than 4th grade so we can support your family s faith decisions appropriately.
