Their van was FULL of winter coats, hats, gloves, snow pants, snow boots, scarves, sweaters, fleece tops, blankets, socks and long underwear. Thank you for helping take care of others in our community in need of help!
Thank you to Lee and Marlene Wilson for providing the beautiful Christmas pots placed on either side of the 21st Street entrance. We appreciate adornment of the entrance to the church for the season.

The October 1st fundraiser for the Restroom Makeover was a a great success! We raised nearly $15,000 in donations for the project, and in addition, have $10,000 committed from the Endowment Fund. We are grateful to all those who donated times, prizes and services. Special thanks to Michelle McCreery, Chanda Olson, Jenny Cook and Suzanne Haas for their work on the fundraiser. And, thank you as well to the Starry Night Quartet for their wonderful music.
The Sunday School children and their families will be preparing care packages for our LOTI college age students once again this year. The Care Packages will contain hand-made cards from our Sunday School kids, a letter of encouragement from Pastor Haug, healthy snacks and other fun items. The packages will be mailed early in December just before finals.
