This day is designed specially for the Sunbeams
(Kindergarten – 2nd Grade). We have a full day of

us learn about how special God has made each of us.
We will have some lessons, crafts, music, and of
course snacks and lunch.
More details and registration forms will be sent later
this spring. For now, mark your calendars, and plan on
attending! Girls are encouraged to bring their friends
(even if they are not in Pioneers).
A planning meeting for the Sunbeam Day is set for
Sunday, May 17, at St. Peter Lutheran Church in St.
Peter at 1:30 PM. Anyone wishing to help with the
planning of the Day is welcome to join us!
Any questions about the Sunbeam Day Camp can be
directed to Eileen Heine, 952-758-2077 or
