During the month of April, LWML will be gathering items for the Great Falls Children’s Receiving Home. The items will be taken to the LWML Spring Zone Rally at Zion in Power on May 6th. If you wish to donate items, a collection box is under the mailboxes in the narthex. A “wish list” of needed items is included in the Grace Notes, posted on the bulletin board in the narthex, and one is also attached to the cover of the collection box. The last day for collecting items will be Friday, May 5th. If you have any questions, please see Myrna Philipp. Thank you!
