Transformed
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
~Romans 12:2

RHL Boy Scout Troop: Christmas Trees for Sale!
Looking for a fresh and beautiful Christmas tree this year? You don’t have to look very far. Red Hill Lutheran’s Boy Scout Troop 235 has been selling trees for over 40 years at the corner of Newport and 17th Street. We sell Noble, Douglas and Turkish fir trees sized from three to fifteen foot as well as decorated wreaths and garland. This is the sole fundraiser for the troop and funds activities including camping and summer camp. Our trees come from Oregon and we give them a fresh cut and stand them in water as soon as possible. We offer flocking, delivery and fire retarding. Our hours are 9:00 am-9:00 pm on the weekends and 3:30 pm-9:00 pm on weekdays. Don’t wait too long as we sold out last year on Dec 11th. We have a flyer for $5 off your Christmas tree at the church welcome table. We appreciate Red Hill Lutheran for supporting our troop.
