Yes, it seems like school was just dismissed for the summer, but the back-to-school sales for school supplies have already begun! 

We have many beautiful school bags on hand, thanks to our sewing gals, so the rest of us need to get busy filling them with school supplies! 

The items needed for each school bag are:

3 Notebooks – 1 subject, spiral, 8”x10 1/2”

1 Ruler – 12” long w/ metric

6 Pencils, unsharpened

1 Pencil Sharpener

1 Pencil Eraser – 2” or larger

1 12ct Box Colored Pencils

1 24ct Crayons

1 Pair of Student Scissors

 

*If you would prefer to give cash or check instead of shopping, a canister will be available on the table along the north wall of the Fellowship Hall.

*Checks may be made payable to the United Methodist Church, with “UMCOR Kits” written in the memo.

*We will also be doing Personal Dignity Kits (Health Kits). A list of items needed will be published at a later date.

Thank you in advance for you caring and sharing! God loves a cheerful giver!
