ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING A MENTOR with Kinship? As we flip the calendar to 2025, we at Kinship have seen a lot of lives impacted through mentorship in 2024! We are currently in need of 11 adult mentors throughout the county for our waiting mentees. I so appreciate how you have helped us spread the word about Kinship in the past to your congregation and community. Word of mouth is our most effective tool in finding quality mentors for our youth in Polk County!

Please let Cheryl Heiden or Karen know if you would like to attend. If you are going, please bring your sewing machine and any personal supplies. All other items will be available at the sewing day including fabric and thread.

We are getting ready to ship our completed dresses. If you have any ready at home, please bring them in soon and we will take them to Peace Lutheran on the 1st. This time the dresses will be going by car to the Michigan warehouse with Peace Lutheran's dresses!

We also could use some new girls underwear to put in the pockets of the little dresses we have ready. Sizes 3 to 14 would be much appreciated. Thanks!

PRAYER: Blessed Lord God, you have caused the holy scriptures to be written for the nourishment of your people. Grant that we may hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that comforted by your promises, we may embrace and forever hold fast to the hope of eternal life; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen...
