Instead of making lefsa, baking goodies and making craft items, we will be receiving cash donations.  All donations will be appreciated by many who benefit from our December distributions to
Missions at the end of each year.  Envelopes marked “WELCA NO BAKE BAKE SALE” will be available in the Fellowship Hall for your convenience. You may place your envelope in the offering plate or you may send your donation to the church, OSLC WELCA, 505 S. Wind St., Flandreau, SD 57028.  If writing out a check, please make it out to “OSLC WELCA” also please write on the check NO BAKE BAKE SALE. Thank you for your donation! 
CHURCH CHUCKLES
ONLINE STREAMING UPDATE:  FaceBook has changed their regulations yet again, making it more difficult for congregations to live stream their services.  We are looking into better options, but for the time being, please watch on our YouTube live stream.  You can find this by going to our church website, www.oslcflandreau.org, look in the blue box with live stream information and click on the black OSLC Flandreau YouTube box.  Stay tuned for more information.
