Wright/Cromwell news

Important news for Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Wright: The church council decided to hold in-person worship services only on the first Sunday of the month, due to recent low attendance, the pandemic, and the cold, darker winter months to come. This should be a savings on the fuel bill and also keep the congregation safer. Pastor Deb will resume 9 a.m. online services starting Nov. 8. We thank all for their participation and generous donations during the past nine months of the shutdown.

Cole Aho, son of Cory and Mindi Aho, and Jillian Anderson, daughter of Jesse and Jana Anderson, will be confirmed at Bethlehem Lutheran Church’s 9 a.m. worship service Sunday, Nov. 1. Emaleigh Olesiak, daughter of Tonya and Justin Olesiak, was confirmed Oct. 25 at Bethany Lutheran’s worship service. God’s blessings upon these fine young people.

Bethany Lutheran Church in Cromwell is sponsoring trick-or-treat instead of the big Chilloween party at the Cromwell Pavilion. The drive-thru event will be held 3-5 p.m. Oct. 31 in the church parking lot. Social distancing will be observed.

With Veterans Day approaching on Nov. 11, the Cardinal Quilters have asked me to announce they have made a “Quilt of Valor” to be given away to a veteran in the community.
