PARENTS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS, WE NEED YOUR HELP

The Sunday School children and their families are going to prepare care packages for our LOTI college-age students. 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.

Parents, if you would like a care package to be sent to your college-age child, please send an email to Diane LaMere, Children’s Ministry Director ([email protected]) with their mailing address no later than Wednesday, November 16. Please include the date that your child has finals week as well.

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.  Any questions or sign up with Cheri Moe (952-431-5226 or [email protected]).
