God’s love has produced many miracles, large and small. One of these is the life-sustaining power of blood. We have the ability to share this miracle of life; to pass it along to others. The opportunity to share your healthy blood will be on Wednesday, May 1st from 11:30m to 6:00pm at the Community Center in Britton. Please call Lori Buntrock at 448-2949 to schedule an appointment.

Please contact Lisa (294-5342) if you are willing to help this project.
