Mistletoe Magic '11
Dear Saints, A mere thank you can not adequately convey how deeply appreciative we are for all of your support for Mistletoe Magic this past year. We decided to be bold and set a goal of
$20,000 and you rose to the challenge making it possible to gross $20,660 in receipts. The check presentation to Turning Point, Direct Assistance and the Wednesday night PADS
site will be held the first weekend in December. There are well over 300 persons who help in a variety of ways to make this ministry happen. Mistletoe Magic is more than a benefit to raise money for charity. This is truly a Fellowship, Evangelism, Social Ministry, Stewardship and Fun...let's not forget that...event. You have helped us change the world for some people who will directly benefit from the money earned thru this ministry.Blessings, Cathy Meyer, Sue Aavang, Karen Reinhard, Judy Reilly and Eileen White, committee members
December 4th, three local charities received gifts in the amount of
$6,000 from the annual Holiday Bazaar, Mistletoe Magic held at Grace
Lutheran Church, Woodstock.
