CURRENT EVENTS
Be on the lookout for an email with the WINNER of a Tom Maakestad original painting from our Country Social Steeple Fundraiser held this fall. Also in the email will be an update on the fundraising so far in hopes of paying off our debt acquired by the much needed Steeple renovations done last winter. We are getting closer and appreciate your support.
