Typically, this is the time of year when we make resolutions. Oh, we mean to keep them, however 80% of us who make resolutions, do not keep them! Maybe the key is to make resolutions you believe you can keep. That being said, here are some Sisterhood resolutions to get your year started!
- Attend more Sisterhood events & projects
- Bring a guest to a Sisterhood or congregational event or services
- Make a new friend
- Volunteer to help Sisterhood or the community in some way
- Continue to enjoy being with friends!
2020! The Best Year Ever!
Hope you are able to keep many of your resolutions in
2020!
Whether for your family, your health, your friends or for Sisterhood.
The Sisterhood Board wishes you a Happy, Healthy and Heartfelt New Year!

CLEAN UP YOUR HOME FOR OUR CAUSE!
You will get a tax donation form and Sisterhood gets a percentage of the earnings thanks to our Sisterhood member, Lori Siegel, the owner of the resale shop "A Lotta Stuff at Stan's".
Items should be in the garage boxed and ready to go. If necessary she can help clean out and remove usable items from your home for a reasonable charge. Lori can use almost any item as long as it is not ripped, stained, broken, and still has some usefulness.
To arrange a pick-up, please call Lori's cell, 816-668-3960, or
A Lotta Stuff at Stan's
913-299-2939
Please mention Sisterhood!
