THIS WEEKEND

CHILDREN’S CHURCH at 9:30 in WFH following Children’s Time.

HEIFER PROJECT Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth.   By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self reliance and hope.   A special collection is taken the fourth weekend of every month.

RAGBRAI THANK YOU

A big thank you to our organizing committee (Park, Donna, Kay & Pat) and everyone that helped with our RAGBRAI dinner!  We heard many compliments from our guests.  We had 900 meals served and a sellout of all of the food.  We couldn’t have done it without all the donations and volunteers, including setup, tear down, and servers.  Thanks again to all who contributed!   What a great success!
