CONGREGATIONAL VOTERS MEETING
There will be a congregational voter’s meeting following worship on Sunday, April 27. Meals on Wheels, a program of Lutheran Social Services, has been using space in our church recently. We’ll be discussing the potential for an ongoing arrangement and invite you to stay and be part of the conversation.
SUPPORT OUR YOUTH: ENVELOPE FUNDRAISER!
Our youth are heading to the National Youth Gathering in New Orleans this summer, and they need your help to raise money for airfare, registration, and food for 19 people. One way to support them is through our envelope fundraiser. You just need to pick an envelope (or envelopes) from the fundraiser wall, put in the dollar amount listed, and return it with your donation. If every envelope is filled, we will raise $11,325! We are also hosting other fundraisers, including the Easter Breakfast, a garage sale, Bingo, Gertens flower fundraiser, and more to be determined. Each participant is also contributing personally toward the trip.
