A Reminder to Save...

Please save the following items that help raise money for our ministry to young people:

  • General Mills Box Tops for Education
  • Campbell's Soup labels
  • Aluminum cans
  • Eye glasses and cases for Africa
  • Kemp's and Land O' Lakes milk tops
  • Empty printer cartridges

Stop by the church office and check out the new shredder that we ordered using points from Campbell's Soup labels. With the closing of Crosswalk Preschool we are no longer eligible to participate in these above mentioned programs. But don't stop saving the labels, milk caps & box tops -- we will be giving them to Pilgrim Lutheran School. Monies from the aluminum cans go to Living Faith Sunday School for outreach and community service.

All items can be brought to the church office and placed in the plastic containers on the counter.

Also please save cancelled postage stamps for the Veterans Hospital.

Cancelled Stamps

Please save cancelled stamps! They can be put to good use. Used stamps are sent to an American Legion Auxiliary which deals with the St. Cloud Veterans Hospital.

They process them with stamp collectors. All monies received are used toward purchasing recreational and other items for use by the patients and residents at the Vets Hospital there.

You need not cut them off. Just tear the envelope in half and save the stamped portion. Bring them to the Church Office (or hand them to a worship assistant at service) or give them to Dorothy Ann Vogel. Thank you.


Martin Luther College Food Bank

Over the years, many WELS/ELS members have desired to assist our students with families. The establishment of an on-campus food bank provides such an opportunity.
