Reserve a month in 2017 to provide a meal for Our Saviour’s Housing. Our
congregation provides the meal the first Friday of every month. If you are a
Thrivent member, you can get a grant from them to help you cover
costs. After applying for the grant, it takes about 3+ weeks to get the funds so you
do need to plan ahead. Any questions on applying for the grant or to sign up contact
Cheri Moe (952-431-5226 or [email protected]).
Thank you to Arden, Janna and Pauline Haug for serving the February 3rd meal.
The dates available for 2017 are June 2, July 7, August 4, September 1, and
November 3.
