Pine Ridge School Supply Drive

Bethel is proud to collect school supplies again this year for the Pine Ridge Reservation! The Wolf Creek School on the reservation appreciates any school supplies for students Pre-K through 8th grade could need including paper, notebooks, pencils, highlighters, crayons, colored pencils, markers, scissors, rulers, clue sticks, Post-it Notes, backpacks and more.  NEW supplies only, please. 

The donations will be brought to the Wolf Creek School in the fall.  Wolf Creek serves close to 600 students in Pre-K through 8th grade with nearly 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced breakfast and lunch.  The county has one of the highest poverty rates in the United States with more than half of the residents living below the federal poverty line.

For the past several years, Bethel has generously gathered school supplies and the support is appreciated again this year.  Thank you!

Lutheran World Relief School Kit Collection

The Ruth Gathering of the Women of Bethel will be collecting school supplies for Lutheran World Relief School Kits throughout July, August, and September. School kits contain essential supplies to help children continue learning in the face of serious obstacles, leading to a better life for them, their families, and their communities. School bags will be provided to be filled with the following specific items: 

  • Four 70-80 sheet SPIRAL notebooks (280-320 sheets total) of wide- or college-ruled paper approximately 8" X 10-1/2"; NO LOOSE-LEAF PAPER
  • ONE 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
  • ONE pencil sharpener
  • ONE pair blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well)
  • FIVE unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers; secure together with a rubber band
  • FIVE black or blue ballpoint pens (NO GEL INK); secure together with a rubber band
  • ONE box of 16 or 24 crayons
  • ONE 2-1/2" eraser

The school bags with an attached list of items needed will be available at the Downtown campus beginning July 19th and at the Highland campus beginning July 26th.  Please take a bag, fill it with the needed supplies and return it to the bin labeled "LWR SCHOOL KITS" by September 30th.  If you can't fill a bag, you are welcome to donate any of the above listed items by placing them in the "LWR SCHOOL KITS" bin.  We hope you will help us fulfill this much needed mission project.

Welcome Ukraine Team Update

Over the past three years, our Welcome Ukrainian Team has had the privilege of welcoming three Ukrainian couples to Hudson.  

One arrived with a four-year-old son.  Another couple was married here and now has a beautiful daughter born March 3, 2025.  The third couple is doing well.  

The men are currently employed as contract internet installations in the region.  All of the families have adjusted to life in Hudson and truly enjoy being part of the Hudson community.  They have all worked to learn English and all now speak English, some more fluently than others.  They have been very thankful and gracious for the support they have received. 

Since their contract work is sporadic, they are open to considering new employment opportunities.  If you have any leads or would like to learn more about our Welcome Ukraine Team, please call Curt Larson at 715-410-2288.

QUILT AND KITS DEDICATION & SHIPPING FUNDS

SHARE YOUR LOVE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED! There are many urgent requests for quilts and kits around the world, including:

  • Refugees and children escaping conflict in Ukraine and Middle East

  • Orphans and the elderly in Tanzania

  • Communities devastated by hurricanes and floods in North Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana

  • Street children at risk of being drawn into gangs in Honduras

  • People in Africa and elsewhere living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other devastating illnesses.

 WE CAN HELP Lutheran World Relief (LWR) and Global Health Ministries (GHM) respond as the intensity of humanitarian needs increases worldwide.  Thanks to the dedication and generous contributions of many, the Women of Bethel have been assembling much-needed Quilts, Personal Care Kits, Fabric Kits, School Kits and Hospice Kits throughout the year.  Bethel will have special dedication services Sunday, November 10 to bless these Quilts and Kits for Lutheran World Relief and Global Health Ministries.  To help ensure that these items reach those who need them most, a special offering will be taken during the dedication services for Lutheran World Relief Quilt and Kit Shipping Fund and Global Health Ministries. Please consider supporting these special mission projects. For more information about Lutheran World Relief, visit their website at www.lwr.org; and for Global Health Ministries, go to www.ghm.org.
