There will be a work day at Camp Luther Alaska in Wasilla coming up on Saturday, May 16^th. Do your children and family make use of Camp Luther’s programs and facilities? This is a great opportunity to help us out by giving back. Both “skilled” and “unskilled” labor is needed. We have some roof and step repair that is especially urgent. Can you give us a hand? Please contact Fred or Stacey Koenig if you would like to help out.

SPRING PARKING LOT SALE

Faith Teens and Faith PTF are holding our spring Parking Lot Sale, which is scheduled for Saturday, May 30^th. Camp Luther is allowing the Faith Teens to benefit from this sale along with the Faith PTF. Donations can be brought to the school at any time. Any gently used clothing, household goods, tools, toys, etc. are appreciated. (Please, no computer monitors or TVs unless they are flat screen).

Happy Birthday and God’s blessings to Caleb Lillo (May 9^th).

We need paper tubes from toilet paper and paper towels for our craft at our Reading Rendezvous booth on May 16^th . Please collect all you can and bring them in to the school. Thanks!

We are also looking for volunteers to help run the booth. If you are willing and able, please speak to Mrs. Zarnstorff.
