WELCA
The Women of Salem will be collecting Thankofferings during worship on November 21st. Please bring your boxes to worship. If you would like a box to collect coins, you can pick one up on the glass case in the narthex.
About Thankofferings and Coin Boxes: The idea of collecting donations in small offering boxes goes back to the very early 1800's, when women formed "mite" or "cent" boxes as a fundraiser tool to collect pennies for the support of church projects or foreign missionaries. In continuing the tradition, Thankoffering boxes show gratitude for God's blessings and gives us an important and tangible way to express that appreciation. It is a tradition grounded in scripture and in our celebration of community, to joyfully give thanks for what God has given us. The money collected will be given to the churchwide organization for the support ministries of Women of the ELCA and the church.
