Three NEW easy ways to GIVE...

1. KROGER SHARE CARDS are being Phased Out!  The new program is called NEIGHBOR TO NEIGHBOR!  Don’t forget to pick up the letter tying your Kroger Plus Card to this new program from the table near the church entrance. Once activated, whenever you use your Kroger Plus Card, Kroger will donate a small percentage of your purchase total to the church at no extra cost to you!
2. EMPTY INK CARTRIDGES - Bring in your empty desktop printer ink cartridges. Place them in the green box on the information table in the Parish Hall. We can use them to get discounts on office supplies. They will be recycled. Doing so saved has us $45 since late March!
3. Save your CAMPBELL'S SOUP LABELS (and various other kinds of UPC tags of items) and place them in the designated tin on the information table in the Parish Hall. DOK is collecting them to help out the Down Home Ranch.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!


Please note that our church also has a wiki website.  We invite you to visit our wiki site as well for even more information and pictures of our parish family events!

NEW PLAYGROUND BLESSED and being enjoyed by all our children!  An update from Kim Faasse...thanks to everyone who has donated to the new playground by supporting the youth fund raisers and cookbook sales.  We do need to sell MORE cookbooks! They are available for purchase in the Parish Hall! Sale price $10 each or 2 for $15.  Any additional money will only ADD TO the equipment already purchased; a new surface and new fence are next to add to improvements and will make our playground better and safer for our children and the children to come.  Believe it or not...our playground is an "evangelism tool" for people driving down Spring Cypress Rd.  Families are drawn to churchs that put their children first and the outward indication of that is the attractive and safe child's playground! THANKS to everyone for your support!  Look at more playground photos...
