CHURCH-WIDE MISSION PROJECT BEGINS NEXT SUNDAY--BRING TISSUES FOR LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. During the month of August, we will be helping our local elementary schools by collecting boxes of tissues. Two years ago when we did this, we collected 125 boxes. Let’s see if we can help top that number this year. This will be fun for us and so very helpful to our teachers. There will be a big blue collection box in the Narthex for your convenience.
