Family Promise Festival of Toys Recap
The Family Promise Festival of Toys in Eau Claire was a wonderful success! Through the generosity of our community and members of Newman and University Lutheran, 398 children from 147 families were served. More than 100 volunteers shared their time and talents to make the event possible, and Slumberland Furniture generously donated 63 beds to families in need. Our Newman family stepped up with monetary and gift donations, leadership of the committee, and time donated to help set up, serve families as they selected gifts for their children, and clean up. We are grateful for all who helped bring comfort, joy, and hope to our neighbors this season! A big THANK YOU to Jodi Thesing-Ritter and Carol Gorzek (Newman Members) who helped lead this great event!

Calling All Eucharistic Adorers
Come spend an hour with Jesus! We are looking for Eucharistic adorers for the Goldsmith Adoration Chapel in Chippewa Falls. We currently have Adoration five days a week, but would like to have 24/7 Adoration beginning January 2026. We invite adorers from the whole Chippewa Valley to sign up for an hour each week. If your schedule is busy, keep in mind that getting a substitute is a simple matter of sending a text. Requests are usually filled within an hour. There are brochures on the table outside the chapel with more information. You can sign up and also find more information at: https://www.ourladyofthefalls.org/eucharistic-adoratio
