A big thank you to Don, Connie, Jay and Clayton for preparing and serving the delicious St. Martin’s dinner on November 12th.  We had a great turnout and everyone enjoyed the meal.  We would also like to thank Eric and Renate Amann and Ross Formell and Susanne Haas for providing beverages for the evening.  Below are a few pictures of this fun evening.

The coat drive for PPL (Project for Pride in Living) was a great success. We collected 10 children’s coats, 37 adult coats, 11 scarves, 26 hats and 19 pairs of mittens and gloves.  In addition, Pastor Haug went shopping with the proceeds from the St. Martin’s dinner and bought an additional 13 hats/headbands and 27 pairs of mittens and gloves. Thank you all for your generosity. Julie from PPL picked up everything last week and was thrilled with the amount of items we had collected. They have several homeless people they are assisting right now and are in great need of outerwear now that winter is finally here.
 
Thank you!
