Our Sunday School Pizza Lunch and Game Day, with trivia games for teams of adults and kids, will be held on a Sunday after Easter.
Our Sunday School Mission Offerings for this school year will be given to Bri’s Closet, which provides Menominee reservation families with items such as clothes, hygiene products, etc. It was started about five years ago by a family whose niece was a social worker with the Menominee reservation, and is named in honor of Brianna (Bri), who died in a boating accident. Most of the Menominee families they serve have children entering foster care.
A Door Offering will be gathered after our worship services the first Sundays of March and April to support our Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society (LWMS).
We have the privilege of hosting the Spring Rally at our church, with the help of St. Peter’s, on Saturday, April 15.
