Thank you for your generosity!
On Sunday
, we collected $274.66 through our Noisy Offering for our "Love Your Neighbor" Bags project.
Last
evening
, we gathered for our final Lenten
Wednesday
of 2018, and we assembled 153 LYN Bags!
These bags include water, snacks, personal care items, detergent, and a note with community resources listed.
It is our hope that these will positively impact many of our neighbors around the community.
There will be bags available on Sunday for you to take with you!
You're invited to take a couple bags for your car, so that you can hand them to neighbors in need. T
hank you for doing justice through this project!

Please continue to bring in any items on the list through October. The kits will be assembled and shipped with the quilts. Monetary donations may be placed in the offering plate and marked LWR Kits. Thank you for your generosity.
