News and Events   Winter 2011-2012 Newsletter

Winter is hanging around all too long this year as we move into May with more predictions of snow. At SCL we have persevered as best we could as we faced cancellation and postponement of scheduled events due to winter storms.

Our winter days were enhanced with the monthly meetings of Creative Community and our Prayer Shawl group. In Creative Community we were treated with an Origami presentation by Darcy Dent in January and each month we have the entertainment of harmonica music as we "create" . The music is provided by Gladys Gunderson who in the past belonged to a music group bringing music to many people of the Ladysmith area.

We are grateful to the pastor and members of the Ladysmith Congregational Church who have graciously provided a space for our monthly prayer shawl gathering so that we can again meet on Wednesdays. This has allowed more knitters and crocheters to join us each month. Please keep in mind that you can obtain a prayer shawl for someone in need or for a time of celebration by calling 715-532-0299.

We were delighted with a great participation in the February presentation by Maryann Luplow, A Lighthouse Experience in Apostle Island Country. Maryann has a great enthusiasm for her Lighthouse Keeper experience and provided a wonderful display of pictures and materials. The interest was such that she provided a second presentation later at Care Partners Assisted Living facility for those unable to attend the first presentation.

The Bible has taken on a deeper meaning for those attending the series The Great Adventure: A Quick Journey through the Bible. Materials and presentations are very helpful for this overview and an encouragement to learn more about the Scriptures. We are grateful for Sister Bonnie Alho's leadership in this series.

The summer months will see a continuance of the Creative Community gatherings and the Polarity Therapy offered by Renee McCann.

Programs are now being planned for the 2011 - 2012 schedule. Please email or call (715-532-0299) with your suggestions of what offerings would be of interest to you..
