Wreaths Across America

To remember and honor our vets who are no longer with us, consider placing a wreath on the grave of a local veteran.

This year wreaths will be placed on the graves at the Grantfork UCC Cemetery. The ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 16.

The cost of a wreath is $17.

To purchase a wreath, call Wendy Reinacher-Heilig at 618-675-3472 or 618-444-2520.

Highland Food Pantry

Grantfork UCC parish members are asked to donate rice, pasta and potato side dishes.

The pantry needs 50 of each item in order to place them on the shelves.

If each family purchases a couple side dishes each time they buy groceries, the cost will not be so noticeable and the supplies at the pantry will be replenished.

St. Gertrude Movie Night

The Upper PSR class participated in hosting an Esther Movie Night.

This event helped to provide food items and cash for the Highland Food Pantry.

The Altar Society and CFL provided refreshments for the movie patrons.

Thanks to Karen Straube and PSR students, Katie, Parker, Tegan, Nevin, Maris, Audrey, Tanner and Summer for making this a successful endeavor.
