ST. MARK PARISH LIFE
CHRISTMAS BASKETS
Many thanks to those of you who helped in any way, donated ice cream buckets, money, and food items to be included in our Christmas baskets, and offered their time to put these baskets together and deliver them! We appreciate all of you! --------------------------------------------------
Community Euchre is back!
Starting January 16, we will be playing Euchre in the St. Mark parish center every Tuesday during the winter months. We start at 1 pm and are done by 4 pm, after a light dessert and coffee. Two dollars per person are collected and paid out to the top three scores. Door prizes are provided from the dimes generously donated by those who get set! If the Ed-Co schools cancel due to weather, so will we. Come out and join us for a friendly game of cards and some good conversation. Call Jane Christiansen at 563-920-5967 for more information.
