Family Ministries Gifts of the Heart

We will be putting together School Kits for children affected by the devastating hurricanes as one of the activities during the Advent Workshop on Sunday, December 3.  Prior to the Advent Workshop, we will be collecting the contents for the kits.  Look for donation boxes at the Church School desk, Narthex, and in the Church Office.  We will collect the following items during the month of November:

• blunt scissors (rounded tip)
• 70-count spiral notebooks or tape-bound pads of 8" x 10 1/2" ruled paper or pads with 200-210 sheets of ruled paper. Do not include filler paper.

• hand-held pencil sharpeners
• new pencils with erasers
