Missions Committee Focus for July and August:

Hygiene Kits & School Kits

The Missions Committee is focusing on both Hygiene Kits and School Kits for July and

August, rather than assigning one type of kit to a specific month. Feel free to donate items for either kit during these two months.

 

In the face of natural disasters, violence, and grinding poverty, Hygiene Kits can mean the difference between sickness and health for struggling families. When people are forced to abruptly leave their homes, they may not have time to pack the things they use on a daily basis, like toothbrushes or soap. After a few days without these items, they definitely miss them. Your Hygiene Kits offer a refreshing daily boost for someone when supplies are hard to come by.

 

School Kits can give children in these impoverished communities and refugee camps some of the basic tools for learning. Starting a new school year is exciting....but for

children who don’t have supplies, it can also be terrifying. That’s where these kits – and your compassion – come in! Plus, the fabric bag is a great keepsake that kids can carry all year long.

 

Your support makes a tremendous difference in the lives of so many people both here at home and around the world. Each kit represents a person whose life will be changed

because of the simple items contained within.

 

Please donate only items from the lists below. Church World Service is very particular that items be the same in each kit.

 

Please have all items in by September 1st.


M&Ms are launching a new project, Martha's Meals, to provide a frozen casserole to anyone in either our congregation or friends in the community who might have a need.


Any church member may take a casserole from the freezer by notifying either Charlotte Pritchett or Delores Young and signing the tally sheet in the kitchen.


Both monetary donations and purchase of specific ingredients for the entree are welcomed. Members will take an ingredient index card and return it with the purchased item.


M&Ms appreciates your participation as we seek to pass on God's love in another tangible way.

Waterville Community VBS

July 22-24 at Zion Lutheran Church


This year, multiple ages will have the opportunity to participate together as a "family tribe." You'll travel back into Bible times - without setting foot outside our community. Each day, your family members can become part of history as they see, hear, touch and even taste what it was like to live in a Bible-times city! These experiences make God's Word come alive with new meaning for all who participate! Registration is available for all family members ages 4 and up (must be potty trained). Student helpers ages 12-17 are encouraged to register as well.
