Weekly Morning Bible Study
and Quilting
ORLC Women meet every Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for Bible Study. Each week we engage
the texts for the upcoming Sunday. Additionally, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday, instead of the study some of us work on quilts for Lutheran World
Relief. Monthly Evening Bible
Study
WELCA Bible Study is held every 4th Tuesday of the month at
7:00 p.m. We meet in each other's homes and study using the monthly Lutheran Woman publication which
contains articles and a related Bible study. Annual
Yard Sale
Every August, the women hold a huge yard sale with
contributions from the members of ORLC. Proceeds fund the annual Women's Retreat. Annual
Women's Retreat
For several years, we have been attending a retreat
together in November, held at the Cannon Beach Christian
Conference Center on the Oregon Coast. This has become a
very special time for the women of ORLC for faith-building,
friendship-building and general fun. Annual
Cookie Walk
In December each year, the ORLC Women
hold our annual "Cookie Walk". This has become a
very popular event for the community of Hood River. We bake
special Christmas cookies and sell them by the pound.
Proceeds from the Cookie Walk are donated to the ORLC General
Fund, or to specific needs of the church. Tithing
The women of ORLC believe very strongly in the concept and
power of tithing. Therefore, we tithe 10% of gross proceeds
of monies raised by fundraising activities. Decisions about
where to send the tithe are made by the group.
