SIXTH ANNUAL MIDWIFE KIT PROJECT…we will be collecting items to make midwife kits.  Due to many generous donations we only need: regular bath size towels, receiving blankets, regular size bars of Ivory soap, & gently used sheets or 36″ squares of muslin.  Items can be dropped off in the collections box in the narthex.  Be sure to sign up at the information desk to come help us assemble these kits on Saturday, May 13^th at 9:00AM.  Let’s celebrate Mother’s Day by “Celebrating Life”.  Any questions contact Betty Pell at (952) 431-4293.
 

KASH FOR KATRINA…Social Ministries is raising “KASH” for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.  Nancy Colin will be at the “Information Desk” in the narthex collecting any & all donations for our companion church, Christus Victor of Ocean Springs, MS.  See the sample kits in the narthex:  One personal hygiene kit & 1 cleaning product kit.  It costs approximately $20.00 to purchase the items in these kits, & we are asking the members of CV to prayerfully consider a “KASH” donation towards these items & we will be sending the money down with the next mission group.  Thank you in advance.
