July Ministry Project for Lutheran World Relief
During the month of July, our ministry project will be the collection of school supplies for Lutheran World
Relief School Kits. We have had a donation of 64 LWR-approved tote bags, which we want to fill. Below
is a list of supplies needed for each bag. Please donate what you can or make a monetary donation to
the church to buy those items not donated by others. The women will assemble the bags at their
meeting on July 28 th and, in August the bags will be taken to a local church for shipment to LWR.

Join Pastor Robb on Tuesday mornings at 11:00 am during the month of August as we read and discuss The Didache. The Didache, or "The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles," is a brief early Christian text dating from the second century that was included in some early lists of scripture. Come get a glimpse of the life of the early Church and discover what truths it may hold for us today. This class is only offered in-person. There is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex.
