Prime Time Big Event--Feed My Starving Children in Eagan Friday, March 15, 6pm
Fifth and sixth graders, this is your chance to do a world of good and have a blast while doing it. Join us at Feed My Starving Children in Eagan to pack hundreds of meals for the hungry of the world. If you have never done this before you have to experience it for yourself. Plus you will feel great knowing you are doing something to get food to those that do not have enough to eat. Contact Jane Pierson for more information.
Easter Volunteers Needed!
We are in need of volunteers on Easter Sunday during all three services to take care of little ones from birth through kindergarten. Help us make a great first impression to all the visitors who will be joining us that day by taking wonderful care of their children. Contact Bethany Gerber if you would like to help.
