Volunteers for Yardwork and Groundskeeping ~ for spring, summer and fall are needed for 2022.

Operators must be eighteen or older. Returning volunteers and new volunteers are asked to sign-up on the sign-up sheet on the board by the Sacristy. Please be sure to include your phone number and indicate if you have used the new mower. Contact Paul Taylor at (406) 461-1645 if you have any questions.

A Life Quote from Lutherans for Life ~ “The Lord God loves your neighbors-even the ones that annoy you. He cares so much for them that He sent His Son to die and rise again for them-for all of them. For the thief, the bigot, the liberal, the conservative, the one with the manicured lawn who judges your overgrown lawn, and the one who has let their property become overgrown and run down. He cares for all of them. He cares so much that He called you and He placed you in that neighborhood to seek its welfare.” Rev. Dr. Jason Broge, guest speaker on The Lutheran Hour – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life o lutheransforlife.org.
