Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with us! Sunday, March 22nd from 11am – 2pm. We will have appetizers, corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, fruit, and something for vegetarians as well. Also included are fabulous desserts, beer and wine. There will be music, whiskey tasting and 50/50 raffle. As this is a fundraiser for the young family group we are asking for a donation of $15 per person or $30 per family. Sometimes money is tight so even if you cannot donate that amount, any amount or nothing is also fine, just come and enjoy! More than money we want to raise our children in a community, the more the merrier! If you wish to donate you can pay at the door or see us after mass. Also, if you would like to bring a homemade dessert, we would love it!
CARE PACKAGES FOR OUR TROOPS – SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 2020 Once again we will join with The Mountain Bible Church to put Jesus’ love and mercy into practice with small practical gifts of encouragement to our men and women serving in the military overseas. A detailed list of suggested items to purchase and donate will be available as the date approaches. This is also proven to be a great event to invite your non-church neighbors who have a heart to do well.
