Share sales begin FEBRUARY 6.  Stop at share table in narthex and purchase a $15 share (or 2…); receive a frame-able stock certificate.  Shares are the primary support for our Sr. High Gathering in Alexandria, and Summer Mission Trip to Chicago.  They remind us to pray for trip participants, and to attend our August Shareholders’ Banquet.  Youth - sign up to call & to sit at table in Narthex.

 

February 29 - Luther Crest EARLY BIRD - send registration & $80 to Luther Crest.  Receive: $15 coupon for “Luther Crest Outfitters” (use for Luther Crest CD, DVD, clothing…); choice of weeks (changeable if family plans change).  Calvary pays 1/2 your total cost (thanks to our women’s & men’s groups!)  If this is your first time away, consider “Luther Crest West”, a more intimate setting and fewer people.  SIGN on youth board so others know your dates!  DAY CAMP – send ½ ($40).
