Stewardship
In continuing the “Acts of Kindness” to congregation members, Get Well cards and Valentine’ Day greeting cards have been sent to those members at home or a care facility and not able to attend church every Sunday.
The hats, mittens and gloves collected for Mesabi East elementary students were delivered to the school. The Board thanks congregation members for joining us in this collection to keep little heads and hands warm.
On Sunday, March 5, soup cans labeled for “Lenten Journey to the Cross” can be picked up at church. These cans are used for collecting coins to donate on Palm Sunday, April 2, to the Aurora Food Shelf. Don’t forget to save your pocket and purse change (paper money is welcome too!) for this charitable organization and their important work in our communities.
Board members discussed, and suggested to the Council, adding coat hooks for Sunday school children to hang their coats at a “child" level in the narthex. This suggestion was considered and accepted. Encourage your children and grandchildren to find and use the hooks for their coats.
Please take time to examine ways we all can be aware of being good stewards in our lives, community and our church, and using our time, our talents and our money.
“You are our church, and your time, talents and generosity are valuable”.
November and December will be a time when our church will focus on being good stewards.

For Stewardship month
The S&F Board served cake and ice cream after the Giving Thanks service on November 20. The Board members will also help with the potluck breakfast on December 11 after the Sunday school Christmas program.
As an on-going project, birthday and sympathy cards are sent out to members and their families. If church members have suggestions or names of others who would appreciate receiving cards, please contact Mary Castle at 218.229.3852.
To inform and remind church members of good stewardship and fellowship practices, the Board will share ideas and suggestions in the Eye Opener.
On December 4, we will begin the second year of "Grab-N-Go” to collect winter hats, mittens, and gloves for Mesabi East elementary students. Please bring donated items to the labeled bin at church. Let’s help to keep the heads and hands of young students warm for the winter season.
