Thank you for your amazing response to the winter coat/gear drive! 153 donations were brought to PPL a few weeks before Thanksgiving, in time for the cold weather. Thank you for helping take care of others in our community in need of help! The St. Martin’s Dinner raised an additional $450 for PPL.
Packages were mailed just after Thanksgiving to our college age members. The packages were filled with a variety of snacks and few silly things to help relieve stress leading up to finals. A letter from Pastor Haug, Diane LaMere plus cards from the Sunday School children were included in the packages with positive messages of encouragement. Thank you to the Sunday School families for their generous donations for the care packages.
The latest edition of the Spark Family magazine has arrived. Please feel free to take home an issue! They are available at both entrances to the Sanctuary. This is a great resource for families with toddlers up to 4thgrade to keep in the car, carry along with you as you run errands, or a great conversation starter during dinner. It is filled with quick and easy ways to fit faith into everyday life. Because it’s not dated you can choose to do the chapters sequentially or skip around.
Weekly rehearsals are Wednesdays, at 7:15New singers are welcome!
