Children's Choir Needs Members
Our Children's Choir is back in the fall. If you have children in grades 2 through 6 who like to sing, have them join the choir. We practice once a week and sing once a month at a Sunday morning Mass. Please contact our Music Director Ed Miski at emiski@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
Projects for Christ
Our crafting group, Projects for Christ, is looking for members! We learn new crafts together and create items for our booth at the Fall Festival on October 10. We meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month from 2:00 - 4:00 pm, offsite. Please contact Cass Stark for more information at ProjectsForChrist@stlukecatholicminthill.org.
