The last cupcake sale of the season was on August 13th. We raised $123.40 for Heifer International. This gives us a total of $466 at this point in time. We are still collecting donations thru the end of October. If you're interested in donating, you can put your donation in an envelope marked Juneau UMW Heifer Project. Make any checks out to Juneau UMW. Check out the pictures at Connect - Sunday School - Juneau SS.

Juneau sponsored a BINGO night on Saturday, September 17th. We had a good turnout - there were 21 in attendance. There was a lot of laughing and fellowship that night. In fact, many people asked when we were going to hold another BINGO night (watch for one in April 2017). Check out the pictures at Events & News - What's Happening - Juneau.

Earlier this summer the Juneau church had a local company come in and pull out all of the heat registers in the Sanctuary to be sandblasted and repainted. They were recently re-installed and look really nice. Check out the before and after pictures at Events & News - What's Happening - Juneau.
We have a lot of people in our congregations that do a lot of work that people may not know about, especially outside work. I want to thank Bob and Nancy Krueger in Juneau and Mary Danner and whoever else helped keep the beautiful flower beds in check at Horicon for all of their hard work this summer. Check out the pictures under Events & News - What's Happening - Horicon and Juneau.
