St. Paul Women of the ELCA meet every month for fellowship and transacting business. Their two big money raisers are the lutefisk supper and the fall bazaar. 750 over-stuffed diners will attest to the fact that our fish and lefse are beyond compare. Proceeds from these activities are used to help out the church home, and help support numerous Lutherans and benevolent organizations as part of our mission field.

Sewing Day is held the fourth Wednesday of every month except December. Many quilts are made for overseas, locals in need, and some are also put up for sale.

The Altar Guild takes care of communion, candles, linens, and all of the banners. Many other committees offer chances to use various skills and preferences.

The women's group is the driving force of the church, and working with the council and pastor much is accomplished; all to the honor and glory of God.

Anyone interested in more information may contact Sandy Altfillisch at the church office at 532-3784, or any of the officers.
