Lutheran Campus Ministry students are going to gather at Rose House Sunday evening to paint the living room and hallway. Someone will be there from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m., so you can join us for the entire time, or drop by for part of it. We are also extending the invitation to members of St. Thomas — the more people the better! (Our Thrivent grant is dependent on it being a volunteer-based project, and they like to see lots of people involved!)

If you need a ride, please email us at jeffnkel@aim.com and someone will gladly pick you up. Food, drinks, background music and friendly conversation will be provided for free.

Oh — and special thanks to Hugo, Liz, & Chauncey for all their "prep work" on Wednesday night!!
