Lost Prayer Book
If anyone has found a personal prayer book with a leather cover please contact the parish office. This book has a very sentimental value to the owner.
Girl Scout Cookies
It is Girl Scout cookie season again!! I know some of you look forward to buying Girl Scout cookies. I am selling them for anyone who would like them. You may speak to me directly at church or you could scan the QR code with your phone camera which will take you straight to my website. You could also order from my website: https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/zoequinn567608. If you can’t eat them, maybe you could treat them! Donations go to the troops and hometown heroes. Thank you in advance for supporting me and my troop! - Zoe
