Men's Breakfast Saturday 8/28/10

One dozen men gathered this Saturday at Plummer Hall for breakfast and fellowship. The meal was served at 7:30 including ham, bacon, eggs, biscuits, fried potatoes, and sausage gravy. A special thanks goes out to Bob Gordon, Coco Campbell and Charles Malone for gathering the food and preparing the meal. Everyone left with stomachs full.

Rocky Lynch and Peter Sharp fill their plates while Coco calls to remind others...


We even shared some bacon with a canine friend...

Keep watch for other breakfasts and upcoming events.

School Supply Drive

With the help of local school administrators and teachers, we are collecting school supplies for students in need. This past Sunday (8th) student supply lists were given out similar to a Christmas Angel Tree Program. Church members will purchase the needed supplies for each student. Beyond the particular students that were identified, additional supplies can be donated and will be stored by teachers to be given to students as needed. You can get involved by purchasing and donating supplies from these lists:

Elementary

• small bottles of Elmer's glue
• small plastic school boxes
• 3-prong pocket folders
• facial tissue
• 1" 3-ring binders
• pencils
• crayons (16 or 24)
• color pencils
• cap erasers/pink block erasers
• small scissors
• spiral notebooks
• glue sticks

Secondary

• black/blue ink pens
• mechanical/wood pencils
• erasers
• 1" 3-ring binders
• loose leaf paper
• spiral notebooks
• 3-prong pocket folders
• facial tissue
  

Deadline for donations of supplies: 8/15/10.

If shopping the latest back to school sale is not your preference, the church is also taking donations to purchase backpacks. Each identified student will be given a backpack filled with the appropriate supplies for their age. The backpacks are being purchased all together with donations received at church. Please give.

Too many children go without basic needs, including supplies that allow them to be successful in school. We want to remind these children they are loved- both by God and by our church community.
