FELC NEWS

THE FELC BOOK DRIVE is underway to replace needed books for the classrooms. In the narthex you will find a Book Drive table with titles of books that are needed.

If you would like to help, please select one or more book titles that you would like to purchase for the preschool.

Once you purchase the book/s, please bring them to FELC, the church office, or place them in the book bin in the narthex during the next couple of Sundays.

(Most titles may be found on Amazon and if you wish, you may have them delivered directly to FELC, 7750 Beneva Road, Sarasota, FL 34232.)

ANOTHER MATCH OPPORTUNITY!

Nearly 50% of Sarasota County students and 100% of DeSoto County students rely on free and reduced meals at school. With summer school programs closed this summer, daily meals may not be accessible.

The summer months ahead present real challenges for the children of families struggling to put food on the table.

Join the Campaign Against Summer Hunger and you can provide twice as many needed summer meals!

Your gift today will DOUBLE until we reach our $800,000 challenge match.
