Have you been wondering what you could do to serve your church? Something easy but meaningful?? We are in great need of communion servers for all services. It's easy, takes hardly anytime and is very painless. The only requirement is that you are confirmed. If this sounds like something you would be interested in please contact Kathy Peterson for more information. Thanks for your consideration.

Fishing and camping season is upon us! Planning a trip to Cabela’s or Gander Mountain to stock up on gear before you head out to the great outdoors? You can help the Youth at the same time! We have cash cards available in $25 denominations for both stores.

Check out our order form for many, many other stores that are available. Here are a few that we have in stock right now, that are available for immediate purchase:

How does Scrip work?
The youth group orders gift cards at a reduced rate and then turns around and sells them to you for full face value. When you order a $25 gift card, you can take that gift card to the store and use it just like cash – for the full $25 value. You pay $25 and you receive $25 worth of product, just like you would if you purchased a gift card directly from the store.

Anyone interested in providing lunch after the 10:45am service once a month, please contact Jim and Brenda Casey.

Update: The balance of St. John’s loan for the sound system is down to $6,000.00!
