NORTHLAND REGION EASTER EGG HUNT FOR HUNGER
Calling all Thrivent members and others to make a difference together! With this unprecedented time in our country, the Northland Region Thrivent Member Network invites you to help fill the shelves of our regional food banks. Download our Easter egg coloring sheet(s) from our Facebook page and color them in your home. Share this with your family, friends church members, coworkers, neighbors, civic group, school and others! I have also attached a PDF with the coloring pages and instructions with how to participate. Here’s how it works: Between April 1st and April 30th the Northland Region will donate $5 for each colored Easter egg that is posted on the Northland Region Facebook page. You can post your image with just one colored Easter egg or up to five. For each Easter egg posted, we’ll donate $5 to a regional food bank. That means each entry could be $25 towards filling the shelves! www.facebook.com/Northland.Thrivent
HOMEMADE MASKS are still needed by local organizations. A centralized drop off location has been established at the National Medical Resources, 2792 E. Broadway Ave, Bismarck 58501. The donation bin is available 24/7. One piece of advice to those sewing is to prewash the fabric in the highest heat of the washer and dryer to ensure the masks don’t shrink in the hospital sanitation system. If organizations contact you asking for masks, the National Medical Resources is currently the best place to refer them.
NEWSLETTER AND CALENDAR information is due at the church office by Wednesday, April 29th. Please email Dorrie at shepvalley@gmail.com
