SPRING COLLEGE CARE PACKAGES

Easter and final exams are coming up! For the first two Sundays in April (4/5 and 4/12), we will be collecting items to fill care packages for our seven college students.  Please drop off non-perishable items on the table in the narthex.  If you’d rather not bring items, we’d also welcome cash donations to cover the cost of shipping (roughly $10 per box for the four out of area students). We’ll also have cards available for you to sign.    See the April newsletter for more information.
