Cub Scout Pack 3149

Pack Families- Sunday, February 5 is Scout Sunday.  Families that attend Holy Redeemer Parish please note the following: Boy scouts, cub scouts, girl scouts, venturers and leaders are asked to attend either 9:00am or 11:00am mass on that day in uniform to recognize "a scout is reverent”.  In the past, scouts have helped ushers hand out missles and bulletins before and after mass.  If you are able to help in any ministry that you currently are serving in (alter serving, choir, etc) please try to make those arrangements.   If you have information about how Scout Sunday is being recognized in other churches, I would be happy to pass that information on to families in the pack. Alicia TuttPack 3149, Committee ChairHudsonville, MIatutt68@charter.net
