CRISP needs SNOWPANT SPONSORS!

Over in the CRISP office, they have come across a pretty good price of $16.99 for kids snowpants and are hoping to find some snowpant “sponsors” so they can purchase some of the sizes they are extremely short on.  Snowpant sponsor checks can be mailed to CRISP at 210 W. Green Street, Winterset.  THANK YOU!!!   Please call Amy Nolan at 515-462-9400 if you have any questions.

Operation Christmas Child THANK YOU!!!

A huge thank you to all families and friends of St. Paul who packed shoeboxes.  The youth delivered 74 boxes to Stuart on Sunday. We had 15 boxes that are being tracked by the families who paid their postage online. We would love to hear where your boxes went in the future.  If you still have a packed shoebox at home please return it to the church by Nov. 24th.  If you have a plastic shoebox you are not using please return to the church so we can use it next year.  Thank you again for supporting Operation Christmas Child and sharing the message of Christ to children around the world.       Lonna Nielsen   515-210-4086
