Hello!Just a reminder that this Sunday we will be packing Touch of Home boxes and creating cards to go inside. It is not too late for you to bring a donation for these boxes! Also, the children will be singing on Sunday, November 8 at the 10:15 service. I hope your family will be there! Please save the date for Sunday, December 13. We will be visiting Pocono Lutheran Village to sing Christmas Carols and share some cookies with the residents. More information will be coming! Don't forget to set your clock back Saturday night and have fun Trick or Treating if you go! Thanks,
Stephanie Stephens

Thrivent Builds |
|
Hello Everyone,
Last time I updated you the house in Swiftwater was complete and dedicated to the new family. I am happy to report that Thrivent has granted Habitat a new grant for 2008 and the project is under way. The ground breaking took place in May with Pastor’s wife doing the ceremony. The new home is located in Ken Mar Acres in Polk Township. A family from one of the local Lutheran churches has been selected for this year’s house.
Some items to mark your calendars with;
Saturday July 19th – will be our building day. I am looking for approximately 10 volunteers who are over 16 to help out with the new build. Lunch will be provided. If you would like to volunteer or can help with lunch items, please let me know.
Saturday July 19th – Pig Roast to benefit Thrivent Builds and Habitat for Humanity. Event will be at St. Mark’s Picnic Grounds Appenzel from 3-6 pm. After a day of building come out for this fun and delicious event. Advance Tickets: $12 adults, $6 children (5-12) At the door $15 adults and $6 children. Tickets will be available soon.
Saturday August 9th – will be our second building day. Same as above – just new items to be working on.
Sunday September 21st – Luncheon and Auction to benefit Thrivent Builds and Habitat for Humanity. Luncheon will be held at Lake Naomi Clubhouse followed by an auction of hand crafted items. Tickets are $30. If you would like to attend or can donate an item for the auction, please let me know.
Volunteers are always needed, if you are interested in helping out with any of the above or would like to work on the house other then the dates listed, please let me know. You do not have to be a skilled craftsperson to help with the house, all levels of skill are welcome. I look forward to seeing you at these great upcoming events.
Regards,
Kari Sandberg (Cell) 570-269-9232 kasandberg@yahoo.com
