HUMAN TRAFFICING WORKSHOP
Peace
Lutheran church is hosting this event on Saturday, January 31st from
10am to 3pm. Lunch is provided at a cost
of $15. It will be an opportunity to learn about
the issue of “Human Trafficking” and what we can do to address that issue
globally and locally. Please
St. David’s can sell you gift cards for
Safeway (at face value) every Sunday after church in a variety of value
combinations. There is no need to
pre-order, we have them on hand. You can
take them home that day. A percentage of
the cost stays with the church as a fundraiser.
GIVING REGULAR OFFERINGS
For people who want to give weekly
offerings to the church, the 2015 offering envelops are available at the
church. If you used envelopes in 2014 or
want to begin using some, they are available at the church to be picked
up. This allows the church’s treasurer to
issue you one receipt at the end of the year for all of your givings.
YOUTH GROUP
St. David’s is please to offer regular
events for junior and senior high youth every second Friday - the next
gathering is, December 9th. Bring
your friends and come to the church at 7:30pm. For more information

education.
