Circle School Kit Summer Project

Jul 14, 2025

We are collecting items for school kits for Lutheran World Relief. Since LWR’s inception in 1945, the Quilt and School Kit Ministry has been one of its flagship ministries.

To children who receive these school kits, these supplies mean the difference between receiving an education or not. In places where LWR works, even a few required supplies, like pens and paper, may be more than many families can afford.

We will be collecting the following items during the next several weeks:

1. Rulers

2. Pencil sharpeners

3. Blunt scissors

4. Boxes of 16 or 24 crayons

5. Erasers

*all items must be new*

SHOPPING LISTS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE TABLE IN THE NARTHEX. PLEASE REMEMBER TO PICK ONE UP!

If you are unable to shop, a monetary donation may be made. Any questions, please contact Deborah Thomas at Rhodo1937@yahoo.com or Polly Bowers at pollylbowers@yahoo.com, 814-943-4992.

Please help us have another successful year for this important project for the benefit of children.

Our next Circle meeting will be on Tuesday, August 26th at 6:30 p.m. All women of the church are invited to attend.

Please help us serve others. It is a good feeling!
