The Bethlehem Lutheran Church Women will host their annual salad supper at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 4. in the church fellowship hall.

 This year’s featured speaker is Betty Stralow of Morrison, who has served as coordinator of a prison ministry program at Dixon Correctional Center for the past 13 years.

 Members of the Northern Illinois Synod Women of the ELCA (WELCA) began monthly visits with incarcerated women at the center in 1991. In 2000, when women were no longer held at the Dixon facility, the prison administration asked that the visits continue with a group of men resulting in the “Monday Ministry.” Stralow organizes groups of volunteers from congregations throughout northern Illinois who visit the correctional center on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Volunteers present a program of devotions with Bible stories, songs and scripture.
