Souper Bowl!

Thank you to all who donated.  Souper Bowl on February 7th was a success!  The youth collected $68 and 157 items (canned soup and other products).  The youth's charity was Cocoon House.  They delivered the food to Cocoon House between services on Sunday Feb 21st.  They were surprised!! 

ShelterBox 

February was the first month the youth started raising money for the Shelterbox.  They have raised $76 towards the $1,000.  Thank you!

School Kits 

Thanks to those who have been dropping off school supplies in the marked box in the Fireside room and fabric for the school bags in the Youth room.  There are some things we are really low on and those are:  scissors, rulers (wooden is preferred) 2 1/2 inch erasers and 24 count crayons.  We will accept money donations to purchase the items for you.

Include the following items in each school kit:

* Notebooks of wide- or college-ruled paper approximately 8" x 10 ½" totaling 150-200 sheets (if using 70-sheet note     books, please include three); no loose-leaf     paper
* One blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well)

* One pencil sharpener
* Six new, unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers; secure together with a rubber band
* One eraser approximately 2 ½" long
