SUNDAY MORNING COFFEE $$:
Proceeds thru the 1st quarter of 2023 will go towards developing a bus route so more Wamego area kids can attend St. John’s Lutheran school in Alma. The school principal, Mr. Harmon Butler is working to develop an account specifically for this project. Thanks for your willingness to help out! Brett Bruning: “In my opinion there is no more important time in our nation’s history for children to receive a Christ centered education at an LCMS school. These funds will make this possible for more children in Wamego and the surrounding area.” For more information contact Brett
