arts and crafts that need to be finished. There will be an exchange
of projects for everyone attending this giveaway activity.
Elizabeth Ford, a seventh-grader at Zion Lutheran School in Lincoln, has
been selected as the Zion Lutheran March Student of the Month.
Elizabeth's ZLS activities include basketball, track, cheerleading, choir,
student council, Math Bowl, Scholastic Bowl and State History Fair.
Elizabeth is a member of the Mount Pulaski Christian Church. Her church and

How
do you say "thank you" to the dedicated volunteers of The
Christian Village Nursing Home?
Approximately 120 volunteers were treated to a special meal, enjoying
beautiful acoustic music as they ate and enjoyed each other's company. Special
gifts of appreciation were given, words of encouragement and affirmation were
spoken, and a good time was had by all. Over 150 volunteers contribute
approximately 7,000 hours each year in service to the residents of the nursing
home.
Doug Rutter, administrator, said that "God's love shows up" when volunteers
walk through the door of the campus to serve.
"Their impact on our community is truly too great to measure," according to
Ryan Jay Edgecombe, M.Div., chaplain and director of volunteer services.
