The Ladies of Salem Lutheran Church enjoyed a soup supper plus trimmings and fabulous desserts on Wednesday, Jan. 3, in observance of the Jan. 6 day of Epiphany. This day also marks the day the Wise Men, known as Magi, completed their journey to honor the Christ Child and present their gifts.

During the business meeting following supper, the following officers were installed for the 2024 year: DeAnna Tuttle, president; Lexie Frahm, vice-president; Murlene Schleufer, secretary; and Diane Gebers, secretary. The group also approved donations to various local and synod charities and received yearbooks detailing committees and meeting dates for the upcoming year.

Upcoming events announced were the invitation from the Clay Center United Church of Christ to an Epiphany tea on Jan. 6, the Winter Retreat at First Lutheran in Grand Island on Jan. 13 and the Spring Gathering to be held in Ruskin on March 9.

The evening ended with some fun Christmas season music including “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” with a few adventurous souls joining in.

The next general meeting will be held on April 17 and who knows, we might even invite gentlemen to attend.
