Thrivent Action Team

Lorna Boggs organized a Thrivent action team for Christmas Caroling.  Pictures and story are below.

Here is the team picture.

The team (Weekday School and Confirmation Students) began by making a craft to hand out during caroling. 

Busy making the craft.

All the crafts Manger Ornaments made of Popsicle sticks.

Then we enjoyed Pizza and Pop.

Then we played some games.

Finally we went singing at the Willows, Nursing Home, and Pioneer Homes.  At Pioneer Homes we gave out gifts from a Thrivent Action Team organized by Doris to members of our church who reside there.
