UMCOR Kits and Mission Ingathering
Thank you for the donations we have received so far for the UMCOR school kits. We are still in need of pencils, pencil sharpeners, student scissors, crayons, colored pencils, erasers, and notebooks.
A special thank you to Marge Crandall and Jane Blumhagen for sewing the beautiful school bags!
We are also collecting items for the Personal Dignity Kits.
Items needed are:
1 bath towel
1 bath washcloth
1 adult tooth brush in original wrapper
1 bar soap in wrapper (3-4 oz.)
1 shampoo (12-19 oz.)
1 deodorant (2-3 oz.) stick, roll or pump
1 lotion (8-10 oz.) No pumps
You may also donate $2 per kit for toothpaste or postage.
If you do not wish to shop for these items, there is a canister in the Fellowship Hall for donations. Please make checks payable to the “United Methodist Church” with “UMCOR Kits” in the memo.
Please have all your items to the church by Wednesday, September 24th so we can assemble the kits at the October Lydia Circle Meeting. We will take the kits to the Mission Ingathering in Cedar Falls on Saturday, November 1st.
The UMCOR Kits are vitally important this year because of all the disasters that have occurred.
When we share from our abundance, we are acting justly and reflecting our desire to serve God. Thank you in advance, and may God bless you richly for your generosity to those in need. –Your Mission Team
