UPDATE FROM PASTOR CHRISTOPH:
Dear Church,

Happy New Year! It is hard to believe, but another year has come and gone. I am guessing that most of us are relieved that 2020 is in the books. Between the pandemic, Covid restrictions and deaths, elections, racial unrest, and (fill in the blank!) it was an exceptionally difficult year, to say the least. And that is all on top of the personal family, job, school, and relational challenges of a “normal” year.

NURSES CORNER
We are blessed to have knowledgeable and caring nurses in our congregation!

January is National Blood Donation month, and with many donations cancelled there is a national shortage of blood. There is also a large demand for plasma from people who have already been exposed to COVID. The Red Cross reports about 7,000 events being cancelled this year due to COVID. This places extra strain on hospitals to get blood when needed for patients.

There are some scheduled blood drives in our community that include St. Peters Catholic Church, Lent Town Hall, Grace Church (Wyoming), Lent Town Hall, and many more. If you are interested visit the Red Cross website www.redcrossblood.org. Some requirements for blood donation are you must be at least 16 years old, over 110 pounds, have not donated in the last 56 days, and in good health.

If interested in more information, please reach out to our Parish Nurses Jaime or Joanna,
