UPCOMING EVENTS
This year's Lenten offerings will be used to 
help  "Raise the Roof" at the Mtera School
Mtera School is in the process of building a multipurpose hall to be used for studying, worshiping, gathering for school assemblies, graduations and exams. Students have been collecting rocks for cement and the floor. The walls are up and the next phase would be to add a roof. Since it rains in Mtera nearly every day between January and April, they would like to complete this phase in June. SPLC currently has four students attending there from Mtera and Migoli  parishes and since it was through Mtera school that our congregation first became involved with Bega Kwa Bega and Tanzanian missions, SPLC has a special connection to the school.

We can help "Raise the Roof". The BKB Education Committee is asking congregations to help 
to raise $16,500 for the iron sheets to complete the roof. The iron sheets for the building cost $15 each which includes rivets and labor.   Click here  to learn more about  the Mtera "Raise the Roof" program.
8:30 am - 2:30 pm

Please call 800-Red Cross 
(800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org and enter 
St Paul Lutheran to schedule 
an appointment. Walk-ins welcome. If you would like to volunteer on April 6, please contact  Zella Oswald at 612-889-0963 or  zelbill@visi.com.
