BE GREEN - TAKE CARE OF GOD’S EARTH -  PLEASE DON’T LITTER
Would you believe it?  22 bags of garbage were collected from litter thrown on the sides of the road.  Thanks to the youth and parents that worked hard on Sat. April 4th to clean up the roads in our area.  They walked and picked up garbage from St. Olaf north to the Dodge/Washington Co. line on Hwy O and also from St. Olaf west all the way to Hwy 67 in Ashippun.  Feet were sore, mouths were thirsty, but the roads sure look good now.   Everyone needs to make this an ongoing effort to keep our roads clean, so if you’re driving by and notice some litter, please stop when you can to pick it up AND of course, don’t litter.   

                          

                           

“MEET A FRIEND” WRAP UP
Thanks to all the youth and adults that met and interviewed each other and shared their stories at the luncheon.  Thanks also to the parents for making this a wonderful event that we hope to do again in the future.  Good things were said and it was a faith filled learning experience for all.

Do I Have Your Email Address??
Hey, I like to get e-mail here at Church  youth@st-olaf.org and if you’d like to know what’s going on here at church and would like to get an e-mail message about it, send me your e-mail so I can send you an e-mail.  I already have some of them, so if I do, just send me a message anyway.  And check your mailbox downstairs as you enter the Youth Center .
