Coming Events

Annual First Lutheran Auction

Picture
Our Annual First Lutheran Auction is Sunday, November 4th.  Most items are sold by silent auction.  Bids are collected in the weeks ahead of the auction and throughout the morning preview and potluck dinner.  After dinner, winners are announced.  Door prizes are awarded throughout the afternoon event.  The day's finale is a live auction of the contents of a "Cross of Coins" and of the contents of a "Surprise Box".

Auction items will be on display in the sanctuary as they are collected.   All items are also reviewed in the hour between worship and the potluck dinner.   Guests are more than welcome for all activities.  Worship begins at 9:30 am.   Dinner will be served at 12 noon. 

Illinois Valley P.A.D.S. Season Begins

Picture
The Peru P.A.D.S. Homeless Shelter provides food, shelter and social services for homeless individuals and families in Bureau and LaSalle counties.  They are supported by donations of food, supplies and money from individuals like you.  They are also supported by the proceeds of the Lily Pads Resale Shop behind Menards in Peru.  Visit them at www.ivpads.com or their Face Book page for supply needs and for secure monetary donations.

First Lutheran provides hosts for the shelter on the third Friday of each month from September through May.   We have done this for about 20 years.  If you have a few evening hours to donate, contact Glenn Allen at 815-354-9026.  Your help is appreciated. 

Help for Today. Hope for Tomorrow.
