On May 7, 21 people and youth plus little children gathered in Altus at Faith Lutheran Church to clean-up and re-gravel the play ground. It was a big job. Join Hands Day is an annual day of service to bring youth and adults together to plan, organize and implement an activity to help improve their own communities. The playground before

This special day is sponsored by America’s fraternal benefit societies, including Thrivent Financial for Lutherans in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation and the Volunteer Center National Network.

Twenty-one volunteers from the 55^th ARS (Air Force), the Lone Wolf Community Youth Group and members of Faith and St. John’s Lutheran Churches worked together to make the playground at Faith in Altus a wonderful place for the children to play

When our plans of borrowing a Bobcat fell through, RSC Rental Equipment Company, donated one to us for the whole day.

Thrivent also gave a special gift of $1000 to the Mother’s Day Out program for participating in Join Hands Day. Scott Schaefer is our Thrivent representative and would love to talk to you about what Thrivent has to offer in the way of financial and other benefits. He can be reached at 405-348-2371.
