Youth at Hanover Adopt a Family in Lacombe

Our Jr. High Youth group at St. John Lutheran Church, in Rural Alta, (Hanover), adopted a young lady from Lacombe. We purchased things from her list at our local WalMart store. She had many things on her list. We got some things for her kitchen and bath. We raised our funds from a Valentine dinner held at our church and raking leaves for members of our congregation. The jr high youth serve the valentine dinner to members of our church and the community.

We received pictures from her of the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. It was pretty overwhelming to see that there was nothing left of the condo. Our prayers are with her and many others as they continue to rebuild.

We would like to send some of the funds raised at this years Valentine dinner to be held Feb 8th. Many of our youth have attended the Jr. high youth gathering in Des Moines, and have helped with the many projects that you organized and were willing to help with another. Thanks Cindy Glienke.
