Salem Methodist Church - Easter News

Pastor Laurie Knoespel has sent Golden Valley a note to share:

Do you need to order a bag? There's a little time left, but the clock is ticking.

http://www.mixedbagdesigns.com/ is the website where all of the available bags are pictured. The Youth are selling these bags as a fundraiser - there are also catalogs available and actual samples to view. These bags are very fashionable and extremely useful - they come in all shapes, sizes and patterns. Please visit the website or see Carol or a Youth to order. All orders must be received no later than Tuesday, April 3rd. That way the bags will be received in time for Mother's Day.
