This year, VOL will incorporate our Stewardship Campaign with honoring first responders. What we’re doing: Week 1 (Feb. 21) ~ Praying for our First Responders Week 2 (Feb. 28) ~ Serving our First Responders Week 3 (March 6) ~ Supporting our First Responders What we’ll need: Cooks, photographers, servers, decorators, donation organizers, Mass organizers, telephone callers, clean up crew, and much more! If you’d like to help: Please call Christie Bourg, Director of Ministries @ 347-2203. Each month from now on, VOL will place in the last bulletin of each month the names of our active duty soldiers so that we can pray for them. By name! Daily!
