Notes from around the synod ...


Ready for school: Some 100 children received warm coats, backpacks, school supplies and clothing recently at St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church of Winlock. Each year, the congregation holds a dessert auction to raise funds for items for its “Coats for Kids” event. St. Paul members have been hosting the community for 12 years. This year it took place on Aug. 11.
Blessing of the backpacks: Students at Bethel of Brush Prairie will tote their backpacks to the 10:30 a.m. Service Sept. 9 for a blessing as the new school year gets underway.
Playground dedicated: St. Andrew of Vancouver members and friends will dedicate an expanded playground and activity center on church grounds during an after-church picnic Sept. 23. The congregation plans on hosting preschool children and families. The playground will be used as an outdoor classroom throughout the year.
