Make Cards for "Bundles of Love"

Here's another opportunity to love the world around us. Make cards for Bundles of Love, a local organization that provides clothing and bedding for newborn babies whose mother’s have no other means of support. They are in need of cards to include with their bundles as a way of providing encouragement to new mothers. Let’s get together to make and assemble cards for this ministry on Saturday, February 11 from 10 am to Noon in the Fellowship Hall at SSEFC. Questions? Contact Deb Hoekstra at 952-432-4023 or jdhoekstra@frontiernet.net.

"Journey Well," a Women's Retreat

Ladies, are you in need of some time away for some rest and renewal?

Cost is $99 if you register before February 26. Handouts are available at the Welcome Desk at SSEFC. Questions? Call Roxi Julian at 651-686-7183.

Time to G.L.O.W.!

Here's an opportunity to "Go Love Our World" and continue our budding relationship with Dakota Woodlands in Eagan. On Saturday, January 21, we will be delivering the sheets, blankets and towels our church body has been collecting and the fleece blankets the women made at the Christmas Social. We will also be showing the staff and residents love by presenting them with fruit baskets. If you would be willing to donate fruit (apples, bananas or oranges), please call or e-mail Tami Peterson to let her know. We need the fruit dropped off in the SSEFC church kitchen by Friday evening, January 20. We are also in need of a few people to help deliver all of these items Saturday morning the 21st. If you are interested in helping in any way, please let Tami know (651-452-0881 or scott.tami@comcast.net). Thanks for sharing the love of Jesus!
