First English Lutheran Church Parking Lot

Each year First English Lutheran Church arranges for a semi here in W.R. to receive quilts and other items which are sent to areas of need around the world.  Again this year, we will have a semi parked in our church parking lot.  Churches from a radius of about 40 miles use this W. R. semi to receive donations.  Lutheran World Relief and donations from foundations pay the freight.
