This breakfast is free and open to all (donations will be accepted). This is a wonderful opportunity to get involved and reach out into our community and build relationships with our neighbors and be fulfilled in sharing the love and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Come one, come all to help, support or just have breakfast and fellowship.

Collecting magazines for our troops. We will be collecting one month old men’s magazines of all kinds that are appropriate to send to our troops. A basket is in the library to put your magazines in. We will be sending them in small amounts to troops in different locations abroad. Please contact Lynne Baer with any questions. If you would like to purchase a magazine subscription or you have a subscription you no longer want to receive, you can have the subscription sent directly to: Magazines for Troops, PO Box 909, Lakeside, MT 59922
Would any group or individual like to help cover the cost of shipping the magazines for the troops? It is a flat rate box, so the cost is $14.95 to ship. Boxes and labels are in the library. All that is needed is to tape the label to the boxes once they are packed.
If you are making or needing a Prayer Shawl for someone, they are now in a tub in the Upper Room.
