Dear OLG Families,
Happy Thanksgiving!
Our 5th grade class did a great job with the
Over 65 Luncheon this past weekend.
Thank you to all the many hands who worked this weekend, sharing and serving our community. Mike and Yvette Messina did a fantastic job organizing the event. The seniors shared a wonderful meal and had a lovely time. The 5th Grade class can’t wait till the Spring luncheon!
Next week there is much happening around OLG, so give thanks for living in such a thriving community! Take part with
Auction Procurement or donating cookies, or simply coming and singing at Friday's
Light-Up-The-Night. Give to our
School Fund Drive on
Giving Tuesday. It takes all of us for our school to continue to
Grow in the Light. Let us be thankful for the gifts we have and what we can share with others!

Yours in Christ,
Anton Kramer

Patronizing your favorite businesses this weekend? Seeing family and friends that own local businesses? It's the perfect time to ask them to sponsor the Auction! The OLG Auction provides a marketing tool for business to reach involved, prosperous local families who are active community members. Opportunities start at as little as $150.
Click here for sponsorship levels
CONGRATS to Sam & Matt Prociv who won the Amazon Gift Certificate for the Early Bird Procurement Turn-In! Thank you to everyone who turned in items early. We have almost half the total items we anticipate. This greatly helps the Auction team make a smoother auction!
Order your SCRIP gift cards soon!
- Order physical gift cards by Dec 5th to receive before Christmas Break. If you want an emailed certificate, you can place anytime up to an hour before gifting using Presto Pay! You'll need to setup Presto Pay in advance of purchasing, but once that's done, you have easy access! More information
- Place an order for a special Thanksgiving "thank you" or start planning now for holiday gifts. Christmas will be here before you know it. Make someone's day and help support OLG at the same time. It is easy!
Friday, Nov 30th 7:00 - 8:00 pm
Sign up to Volunteer for Light up the Night on Nov 30th
