Got Grocery Bags? SSLC needs them! They use plastic grocery bags to dispose of dirty diapers and are always running out. You can donate yours by bringing them to the church and putting them in the box marked "grocery bags" in the east coat closet.

 

A Worthington Wildcats Pathfinder Fundraiser. Are you or someone you know preparing for an upcoming wedding, graduation, birth or other important event? Most likely you will want to announce this momentous occasion and we have someone who can help! One of our church members deals in Fine Paper Invitations by Nu-Art out of Chicago. This is the same company that supplies Hallmark and other fine stationary stores with their invitations. This member has offered to donate 100% of the profits from the sale of these invitations to our Pathfinder Club!

 

What we need from YOU is to recommend this service to your friends and family.

 

Our member is prepared to present an entire album of invitation samples to those interested. They can browse through the album at their leisure in their own home.  Should they decide to order, they will be given assistance with any and all questions. Mike & Laura Hanley worked with this member and used these invitations for their wedding announcements and loved them! So did Jeff & Cheri Rettstatt, and others. If you are interested, please contact Mary Fran Sciulli at 614-885-3192.  And thank you in advance for supporting our Pathfinders!! Osh Kosh….here we come!
