Youth– It is time to think about attending Camp Okoboji this summer. Several youth are interested in attending and we would love to have more. See the display in the narthex for dates and more info. Do not let the cost deter you. Funds are available to help with the cost. Talk to Carla Murphy for more info.

Thank you ….a huge THANK YOU to everyone who took the opportunity to be a part of our Easter Breakfast here at St Paul. It takes many hands to make our breakfast a success year after year. Hands to make decorations, crack eggs, cut up fruit, to serve and to clean up, all working together, to make Easter morning special for all.  A special thank you to Phil Voge and his crew for donating and then cooking the sausage and ham Easter morning. He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!!!

Just a reminder, our LWML IA West District Convention at Okoboji is coming up. Get your reservations in soon ($25 by May 14; $30 after May 14). Registration forms are on the bulletin board. See you all there June 28th thru 30th!

Ladies of St. Paul, we are looking for one or two of you who would be interested in co-chairing the plant sale later this month. If you are interested, please contact Gretchen Zitterich.
