Like so many in the Sauk Prairie community, Marilyn McFarlane involved herself in volunteer opportunities when 6:8 organized the Fire on the River, pounding in fence posts, hosting children’s games and serving burgers until midnight. 6:8’s move into the new building provided daytime volunteer opportunities like organizing the abundance of toys donated to the childcare room. Her lifetime of relational experiences has prepared her to serve with Circles, a new program to reduce the poverty level in Sauk Prairie. Marilyn enjoys the positive team experience of equipping and encouragement among the members. She is admonished to “…be concerned about the interest of others.” (Philippians 2:4) 

Marilyn and her husband, Dick, have 4 grown children and 9 grandchildren all located in the Midwest making Oma and Papa visits possible.
