Give Back to Woodhaven Work Day – this Saturday 5/12 9am-noon

Let’s show Woodhaven that we appreciate our chartered organization!  We will be working on the church grounds clearing out some areas and doing some weeding. Both adults and youth are encouraged to come out and help. Dress for outdoor work, bring a water bottle, and bring gardening tools (bring a weed eater if you have one).

The troop will provide pizza for lunch. Earn service hours!

A Scout is Courteous…  Keep up the good work scouts!  The church is appreciative!  Please bring a water bottle to meetings.  Woodhaven has asked us not to use their cups.  We need to be respectful of the church as a whole, this includes the kitchen area and the ice maker.
