July Mission Focus – Hygiene Kits and School Kits!
This year 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; and School Kits can give children in these impoverished communities and refugee camps some of the basic tools for learning.
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 the items from the lists below. The Festival of Sharing is very particular that items be the same in each kit.
HYGIENE KIT
Our most needed Kits! These little kits are jam-packed with supplies to help keep people clean & healthy. From toothbrushes to washcloths, you’re making sure that someone’s needs are going to be met in the wake of an emergency whenever the most basic supplies can be hard to come by.
· One hand towel measuring approximately 15”x20” to 16”x 32” (no fingertip, bath, dish towel, or microfiber)
· One washcloth
· One wide-tooth comb removed from the package
· One finger nail or toenail clipper removed from the package
· One bath size bar of soap in the wrapper
· One toothbrush in the original package
· Ten standard size Band-Aids
·

Remember how it felt to start a new school year with all the right supplies? Help give the same feeling to students around the world recovering from a disaster or living in tough circumstances.

Like the PowerPoint part of the service? Understand the importance of recording the Worship Service? Able to help some Sundays during the Worship Service? We are in need of back-ups to show the morning announcements and order of worship and record the service. The PowerPoints are already created; you just advance them with a click of a button, it’s that easy! And, training will be provided. Please see Pastor Mike if the Lord is leading you to help in this area.
