August Mission –
August is the time for the end of summer vacations, and looking
towards school. Many children around the world, though, go to school
empty-handed, without the simple supplies of paper and pencil that we
find necessary for learning. Church World Service collects school
supplies from churches to send to the places that need them most. They
ask for very specific materials to put in the kit:
 | One pair of blunt metal scissors (rounded tip) |
| Three 70-count spiral notebooks or notebooks totaling 200-210
pages (no loose-leaf or filler paper) |
| One 30-centimeter ruler (12") |
| One hand-held pencil sharpener |
| One large eraser |
| Six new pencils with erasers |
| One box of 24 crayons (only 24) |
| One 12" x 14" to 14" x 17" finished size cotton or lightweight
canvas bag with cloth handles (Please, no reusable shopping bags or
backpacks.) All items will be placed inside this cloth bag. For
those who like to sew, a pattern for the bag is available on the
Church World Service website: www.churchworldservice.org (click on
kits, then go to school kits.) |
We will collect these materials each Sunday in August – a bin will be
placed in the Narthex for the collection. At the end of the month, we
will have a party (see Game Night info on the other side of the insert!)
to assemble the kits (if not already put together) and pack them off to
Church World Service. Tell your friends and neighbors – they can drop
off materials in the Narthex anytime!
