Auxiliary projects still seeking funding

The MLC Early Childhood Learning Center has received great assistance from the Auxiliary

The Ladies' Auxiliary project list totals almost $40,000, and there is still much work to be accomplished in providing materials for MLC professors and students. The MLC Auxiliary is committed to funding three standing projects each year: scholarships - $3,000, library materials - $1,250, and outreach projects - $2,500. The other projects are chosen at the Annual Fall Meeting. To date, Auxiliary supporters have funded over $22,000 in projects including projects funded by individual donors! The deadline for funding this year's project list is June 30. If you would like to help us fund remaining projects, send a check to MLC Ladies' Auxiliary, 1995 Luther Court, New Ulm MN 56073. You can also contribute online. Just select Ladies' Auxiliary on the Designation drop-down menu. Read the complete list of 2014-15 projects.

Spring Meetings are popular

Ladies from the St. Croix Conference enjoy

fellowship at the Spring Meeting

Women and men from across Minnesota gathered this spring at various churches to learn more about MLC and the Ladies' Auxiliary. Attendees viewed a video report from MLC President Mark Zarling. Also, a second-career preseminary student recorded a video telling his story of coming to faith and deciding to become a pastor. Watch the video now. In addition to the videos, MLC students in the Spanish program presented information on their immersion trips and the benefits of our Spanish program.Wonderful fellowship was enjoyed by all. One attendee commented, "I brought two friends with me to the meeting this year! I wish every woman in our congregation could hear about the work that's being done at MLC!"
