Quilting Group

Did you know quilters call in-progress quilts “quilt sandwiches”? Each has a top, middle, and back. Right now, the LWLC Quilters need “middles,” and flat bed sheets work perfectly for this! Cotton or cotton/poly flat sheets (any color) can be repurposed into the middle layer of quilts that travel the world to provide warmth, shelter, or even carry-all. Flannel is fine, too—but satin and knit sheets are too slippery. If you have extra sheets in good condition at home or find them at a yard sale, please consider donating them. The Quilters thank you for your generosity!

Emails from LWLC

Future emails to the whole congregation will come to you through Constant Contact. Some of you have chosen to “unsubscribe” from receiving emails from Constant Contact (ex. weekly highlights, worship videos, etc).  Contact the office if you want to be “re-subscribed” to receive emails from LWLC through Constant Contact. If you are not getting emails from Living Word, please check every email folder (junk, spam, clutter, etc..) to see if you can find an email from LWLC. After you find an email from LWLC there should be a way to indicate that you want future emails from LWLC to be sent to the "primary inbox”.  You might have to move that email to your primary inbox before it gives you the option to direct future email from LWLC to the primary inbox. Each email provider has a different way to do this. If you are having difficulty with this, do a quick google search for “How to direct specific emails to my primary inbox on (name of email provider)?…i.e. Gmail, Outlook, AOL etc. If you’re still having problems, contact Steve at steve@lwlc.com
