Thank you to all who have sewn and are sewing the drawstring backpacks for Lutheran World Relief School Kits. So far, thirty backpacks have been returned and are ready to fill with school supplies in September. There are more kits ready to be sewn on the table under the women's bulletin board, which is in the hallway to the right as you exit the worship area. These kits have everything that you need, including instructions, and involve simple sewing of straight seams. The kits need to be finished and returned by September 1. Please consider picking up and sewing a kit or two to help us meet our goal of 125 school kits. Thank you for your help. If you have questions or need help,
call Linda Blake, 684-8378.
 
Continue to bring in your aluminum pop tops and your Campbell's UPC codes until June 19. They will be taken to the Ronald McDonald House and Crossnore School. These items may be placed on the table under the women's bulletin board.
