The congregation of American Lutheran Church invites you to come and join us for our annual Spring Salad Luncheon. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6, in the church fellowship hall, 155 Fourth Street S.E. in Huron. An elevator is accessible from the Iowa Street entrance.

The luncheon will feature a variety of salads including meat, veggie, pasta, and fruit along with deviled eggs, crackers, bars, and coffee. If you are unable to stay to eat, they will be happy to have you come, dish up your salads, and take your meal with you.

The cost of the luncheon is $10 per person and funds raised will be used for mission projects and church property improvements. The event is sponsored by the American Lutheran Church Women (ALCW) and is a church-wide event that includes both men and women helping.

Some of the ALCW missions include monetary donations to: St. Dysmas (prison ministries), Huron area Backpack program, ALC Christian Learning Center Scholarship Fund, Salvation Army Christmas Program, and the Plus One Pregnancy Guidance Center, to name a few.

Many quilts are made each year and donated to a variety of organizations such as: Jan Manolis Family Safe Center, Plus One Pregnancy Guidance Center, Huron Regional Medical Center, Huron Hospice, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, veterans and ALC members in the local nursing and assisted Living facilities. Many quilts are given to Lutheran World Relief. Quilts are also made and given to those who are baptized in the congregation and to church high school seniors as a graduation gift.

At ALC they are striving to make a positive difference in the community. There is much yet to be done, serving our Lord is a lifelong journey. They have been blessed at ALC with people who are dedicated to His service, and they thank God for putting them in this place. “We are not alone in our service, God is with us all the way and it takes all of us to help spread the ‘Good News.’”

The church women meet at 1:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month and they would love to have you join them. They hold a Bible study followed by a general business meeting. Refreshments are served at the close of the meeting.

Church worship services are held Saturday evenings at 6 p.m. and Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. and are live streamed on the church Facebook page. Sunday school for youth ages preschool through fifth grade is held at 10:45 a.m. Sunday mornings. All are welcome!
