We invite anyone who likes such puzzles to join us each Tuesday afternoon for comradery starting January 7, 2025.


Blessing Box: Looking for ideas about what to donate for the Blessing Box? Rice Krispie treats, pop tarts, ramen noodles, fruit snacks, granola bars or chips work! These items will go in the Blessing Box, and will also be shared with our Lyon College students when the Care Team makes “snack bags” to pass out monthly. Thank you! 😊

EfM Prayer

Great Comforter,

You know our struggles;

We thank you for reminding us to be

still & know you are God.

We pray that you guide us in our

vision quests, so that we can feel

kinship with one another & realize

with you we are not alone. We love & trust you.

Amen
