Join us after worship on Sunday as we engage in a ministry that our congregation has engaged in for as many years as I can remember (for me, Kathleen, that’s only 15 years!). We will assemble backpacks for 66 youngsters at local elementary schools whose parents might not be able to afford school supplies. Margaret LeWright has scouted the sales and graciously purchased notebooks, pencils, pencil cases, erasers, markers, etc. The funds for these purchases have come from the Rainin Foundation of Oakland. All we need to do is to carefully stuff the backpacks. It should take us no more than 35-45 minutes and we will have fun! Please join us in this treasured ministry!
