Oakwood Camping Trip
If you enjoy camping, why not come camp with your church family on August 2-4 at Oakwood Lakes State Park? The camping sites are reserved so just let Gretchen know if you want one. We share a couple of meals, do a lot of visiting, some take advantage of what the park has to offer as far as programs go, some go fishing, kayaking – whatever you feel like! If you have friends or family that would like to come also, be sure to invite them too! Just let Gretchen know so that she can make sure enough spots are available at [email protected] or call 605-692-4345.
#onething
You are invited to donate FRUIT SNACKS to the Brookings Backpack Project through #onething in July. The Brookings Backpack Project assists children and youth in Brookings County SD, who may not have enough food to eat at home by providing them with easy-to-prepare weekend meals and snacks throughout the year.
