We are looking forward to putting on another family-friendly event this year and giving parents an alternative to Halloween and trick or treating. This gets more fun every year! But in order to have a Trunk or Treat we need volunteers to bring a “Trunk”! The younger kids appreciate and love seeing the older kids and families making this so much fun for them. If you are interested in helping or looking for other ways you can be involved, please reach out to Rachel Naumann at 952-303-1784 or sign up here. Thank you!

Stewards Of Grace Fundraiser
 Hilary Lien looking to organize a fundraiser for the Stewards of Grace Program that Mrs. Roettger has been working on with her 5-6th grade classroom. This program aims to organize opportunities for these students to serve in the community at large, and by service to minister to the Mankato community in a variety of ways! So far they have served at the Zero Waste event at Sibley Park and visited MRCI to play bingo with the residents there. Each time the students have been a blessing and been blessed by the experience. It’s fun to see them actively serving others! 

In order to have any sort of program costs are involved. Hilary was hoping to help offset the costs for them by setting up a Bake and Craft Sale Fundraiser that will run from October 11-October 26th on the weekends in the church basement. Our goal is to raise $500 dollars to buy t-shirts for the kids to wear as they volunteer and to provide extra funds for Mrs. Roettger to work with. 

Hilary is looking for craft items or baked goods  that you’d be willing to donate to the sale. It can be anything! Needle work, painting, sewing projects, sketches, cookies, cakes, muffins, etc… Sky’s the limit! 

If you are able to help let her know!  Donations are due by October 10th!
