Grace Lutheran Church, 211 S. Ninth St., held its annual rummage and bake sale with silent auction and cafe during the first weekend in May. The event raised more than $8,700. Of that amount, $2,000 was donated to The Lord’s Cupboard and $2,000 was donated to the SALT (Shining A Light Together) Center at First Baptist Church. The remainder of the money will go to Lutheran Disaster Relief to help people in western Iowa affected by natural disasters and to Grace Lutheran Church’s companion congregation in Metembwe, Tanzania, for scholarships for girls who would otherwise be unable to afford to attend school.
