TODAY, Sunday, August 3 marks the new OCoB Children’s Offering program kick off. This year we will be focusing on Church World Service school kits. This weekend is the tax-free school shopping week and provides a great time for us to begin collecting kit items at a discount! Please join us in collecting for these kits! Here are the items you need for kids—
To assemble a School Kit you will need:
- 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.)
Donated items can be placed in the Narthex, or cash or checks for the offering project can be placed in the offering with CHILDREN’s OFFERING marked on them.
