SAMARITANS PURSE “Shoe Box program” – For those who noticed the gray tub in the Fellowship Hall and are curious about its purpose, the following will shed some light on the subject.  The Board of Ed is very proud of the response we received from the local children to help provide items for underprivileged children around the world.  Samaritans Purse is a Christian organization that helps people in need.  They are helping dig wells and provide mosquito nets in Africa, helping Veterans injured while protecting our country as well as delivering packages to children who are in need.  The Board of Ed thought the children would like to be involved by providing items for needy children, such as hygiene items, school supplies, personal items (such as socks, t-shirts and underwear) or even toys and hard candy.  These are things that some children are rarely able to enjoy … essentially anything that will fit in a shoe box.  If any of the congregation would also enjoy donating, there is additional information on the bulletin board.  We plan on collecting items through August.  Thank you for your generosity.  (s) The Board of Ed
