Spring Clean-Up Help Still Needed
Spring Clean-up day took place last Saturday and a lot was completed. However, there is more that needs to be accomplished. The sign-up sheets are back on the bulletin board in the narthex. Would you please consider offering a hand to one of these projects sometime during the next couple of weeks? You are welcome to schedule it when it is most convenient for you. If you have any questions, please contact Karen Sylvester at 715.732.4206. Thank you!
World Hunger Drive
A big thank you to all of you who supported our World Hunger Drive! We collected a total of $2,233.47!! Your generosity helps those people who are starving by being able to purchase seeds, tools, and fruit trees. Our small part in sending this money out for seeds and trees will continue to help people eat and support themselves for many years to come.
