We are pleased to report that the collection from our St. Peter’s Easter Breakfast for our neighbor, Holly Vromann, who suffered a home fire, totaled $446. The Marion Lions contributed $500 and the Marion Lioness contributed $100 to our fundraiser so total raised was $1046. This amount was matched 3-1 by Thrivent NE Waupaca Co. Chapter #30071 so another $349 was added to our total and which means we were able to present Holly with a check for $1395. She was very grateful for everyone’s generosity to assist with her rebuild and many expenses not covered by insurance. Join Hands Day was held in conjunction with the St. th Peter’s WELCA Spring Luncheon on April 27 . A total of $819.00 was raised by the luncheon and Thrivent contributed $100 from Join Hands Funds. St. Peter’s WELCA voted to contribute the Join Hands Funds and profits from the Spring Luncheon to the purchase of a new DVD burner. Thrivent was pleased to be able to assist in this purchase and volunteer event. The Parish Confirmation Dinner was held April 30 and a lovely meal at St. Peter’s was served to our 2008 confirmands. Confirmation crosses for St. Peter’s confirmands were presented by Luella Moericke, St. Peter’s Thrivent Coordinator, and Louine Malueg, St. Paul’s Thrivent Coordinator, presented crosses to the St. Paul’s confirmands. Thrivent was pleased to assist with expenses. Nancy Heiman, June Mueller, Patti Zillmer, Luella Moericke, Louine Malueg, Karen Riemer, Kelly Zillmer, Bill Miller and Pastor Janice all participated in making the event memorable. If someone was missed in being listed – our apologies! Next big event will be our ―PIE SALE‖ at the Big Falls Corn Roast and Thrivent will be assisting through Care in the Congregations funding. Thrivent is all about assisting volunteers and are happy to be able to assist congregation and community fundraisers. Lola Zaug St. Peter’s Thrivent Coordinator
