The cost is $20.  We will be asking for donations of Salads and possibly money if you would rather contribute this way. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex.

Library News : The books on the table in the Library, are free for you to take home and enjoy! Most of the donations are on the shelves of the library so please take some time to come in and have a look around. Thanks, Heidi Laing and Kendra Brandt

St Olaf will again be collecting gently used Bibles, hymn books, devotional material and other Christian books for the Christian Salvage Mission who delivers overseas. We'll collect these items until the end of June. Delivery will be early July to the depot in Regina.

A NOTE FROM THE SEWING GROUP

HELP!  Help! Our Sewing Group has received a challenge from our local Salvation Army.  They are asking us to make a large number of quilts {80 – 100} for their Fall Supper in mid Sept. So, we will need lots of help.

You do not need to sew as we have many other jobs that need doing.

{1} We need people to measure, and mark the size, of our existing quilt tops. We have quite a number.

{2} Backs need to be made for the above.  We have material for that. Please press the seams.

{3} To assemble the quilts we need people to put the layers together & we tie the quilts together. Someone then needs to complete the quilt by sewing around the edges.

{4} We do have squares (various sizes) that need to be laid out in patterns & then sewn together.  The church tables work well for that. We also have sewing machines at the church so it can be done there or at home.

{5} We also have material that needs to be cut – we have cutting boards & cutters at the church- for making quilt tops.

I am open to suggestions as to how we can get this project done.  We could get together one extra day a week, a full day on Wednesdays or other suggestions you may have.  Please let me know. Alice @ 306-773-6759 or the church.  Thanks!

The announcements will be updated on the website; stolaf.ca
