UPCOMING PARISH EVENTS & DRIVES
American Red Cross Blood Drive
Thank you to all who donated during our January Blood Drive. We provided 25 donations. Thank you to all who donated and provided assistance to make this event a success.
Our next Blood Drive will be Friday, July 26th! Save the date!
The Point Dinner
Kudos to everyone for feeding 103 folks (including us) at The Point on Monday night. The food was abundant and tasty, the kids were plentiful and polite, and the fellowship of the folks was the icing on the cake!
As always, many many people contributed to the night's success. Three different households provided and cooked the meat. The after-church crew prepared the beautiful fresh fruit salads. Two folks made all of the macaroni and cheese, enough they planned, to feed 120. Randy was our faithful chef manning the ovens. Twelve from Ascension showed up to set up, serve, and clean up afterward.
Thanks to each of you who signed up and donated food. The list was long and most items were covered. A special thank you for cash donations. They are always needed and appreciated.
Leftovers were packed up in maybe 15 take-home boxes for families. We also took leftovers to others connected with our parish. And I think we all slept well when it was all said and done!
