The lists are on the welcome desk in the fellowship hall and the bulletin board in the hallway to your right as you exit the worship area. Take one to help you when you shop for your donations. 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.
