Hi everyone! Some things to consider donating that we use weekly are brownie mixes, cakes mixes, ice cream, Kool-aid and lemonade. We also need every week plates, napkins, cups, bowls and plastic silverware. I really enjoy cooking for the kids and they really like to eat (lol), but seriously, they do enjoy all the meals we serve. Thank you all so much. Trisha Hansen

Coloring Lenten Devotional Calendars

Everyone is invited to use the Lenten Calendars available

in the narthex as a part of your family or personal devo-

tions. Do the suggested reading or activity for each day

and color the symbol. Learn about the symbols and

church seasons on the back of the calendar. Lent and the

calendars begin on Ash Wednesday which is February

26th this year. Post it on the refrigerator with a magnet

to see the days get closer to Easter. Learn something new

in the Easter story with these free ecumenical calendars

created by Rev. Kathy Wadsley that are based on the lec-

tionary scriptures and available in English and Spanish.

Take two and share one with someone.
