Service Opportunity

Mother's Day/Father's Day service project with A Little Bit of Haven.  This is the house for parents of hospitalized children where WELCA has "adopted a room". Council's goals this year included getting more involved in with our neighbors and also to find projects and causes that cross committees.  This sounds like a great project to get the whole congregation behind.  They need some landscaping.  We already have some volunteers.  Date: May 31st, 9-noon.  Contact Ruth Sorrell at 314-324-1352 if you have any questions or would like to participate. Come, give a few hours and help make this Haven a bit brighter for the families that stay there! 

 

May Food Barrel Focus

May is Children's Food Month – the children are home for the summer and many of them are used to receiving breakfast and lunch at school. Let's help the families that are unable to budget for these extra meals. Examples: foods such as mac & cheese, peanut butter, jelly, pudding, canned fruit, oatmeal, cereal, etc. Think kid-friendly foods!

 

Confirmation Schedule

Confirmation this year will be on Pentecost Sunday, June 8.
