Redeemer Lutheran Church and 3K/4K Preschool

   The Mission Statement of Circle of Love:
To share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with our community
by serving with our God-given time and talents.

The Circle of Love Community Mission group continues working on our first servant event.  Due to scheduling conflicts we will not be assisting the Ecumenical Two Rivers Food Pantry with this event.  We will instead distribute our pantry collection to Peter’s Pantry.

The collections schedule remains unchanged.  Items can be dropped off at church through February 22^nd.  A list of needed items is available for your convenience at the table in the church lobby.

Our work day is planned for February 25^th, 9-12 noon to stock the shelves and paint. 
Meet at Peter’s Pantry at 8:45, we would like to take a few pictures.

We still are in need of volunteers for:

            Painting and stocking the shelves at Peters Pantry

            Helpers to work the table in the lobby handing out sheets

PLEASE REMEMBER WE CAN NOT ACCEPT:

EXPIRED, RUSTED, DENTED OR PREVIOUSLY OPENED ITEMS

Can’t serve on this event, that’s OK we have more servant activities in the works.

The Salvation Army Coats for Kids and the Kan Cool for School program are in need
