Greetings everyone!
Just a quick note. Our financial goal is $18,000. Our current level is 14,300. We have some great fund raisers coming up to help us reach the goal. Come on out and help support the LYF.

2007-06-30T17:47:00.000-07:00

The third "Lutheran Lackey" service project / fund raiser completed. Thanks to the many of you who have been to all the projects so far! Together we've endured weeds, rain, sweet fluffy slices of lemon meringue pie, enjoyed fellowship and conversation.

We have even more events coming in July. Tuesday (Jun 3, 2007) we will be pulling weeds and chopping down vegetation with a weed-eater. Start time is 1 pm. A couple people would be enough to handle the work, but the more, the merrier -- and the faster the work goes. Contact Rick Winterstein for details or to sign up.

We have 10 weeks 4 days and a wake up. It is sometimes difficult to wait. Scripture reminds us that we are supported in our wait. Isiah 40:31

"But those who are waiting for the Lord will have strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness."

Under 80 days

2007-05-07T22:18:00.000-07:00
