We are trying something new this year for our Ingathering Kits. We will be collecting 1 or 2 items each month.
There is a collection bin in the Courtyard
See above for items collected this month.
If you are concerned about dropping off items, no worries. You can bring items that you have already purchased anytime. You DO NOT need to bring items to church in the month that they were asked for. Stay home and stay safe.
