Blessing of Backpacks, Students and School staff
|
This Sunday, August 25 we will be having our annual Blessing of Backpacks, Students and School staff, followed by an ice cream social for fellowship time! Please come out to worship with us at 10am and join in the blessings of the day! As is our tradition, all students and school staff...including our Sunday School teaching staff will receive a blessing and a key chain to put on their backpacks, handbags or whatever else you want to put it on! So come out to see what the key chain for this year is! I know...you can't take the suspense!!

Rice Bowl Offering
Our Rice Bowl Offering for August is designated for our own Kure Memorial Lutheran Preschool to help them purchase much needed supplies for the school year! So bring your pocket change and be generous to help support our preschool program! If you would like to bring in some of the needed items, you can drop them off in plastic bin, that is in the church entryway. Remember...the church is open between 8am and 8pm daily!
Below is the list that we received from Celeste, our preschool director:
Thanks to everyone for your generosity!
**What is the Rice Bowl Offering, you might ask? On the last Sunday of each month, during the children's time, the children circulate around the sanctuary with small bowls collecting pocket change...or any other form of money folks wish to give...which is designated for an organization, usually local, although sometimes global, that focuses on impacting the lives of children and youth. Our children are a big part of the offering that we receive each month because of their participation in collecting and bringing the offering forward to the altar for a special blessing. And your offerings that are gathered each month for these organizations that impact the lives of children, make more of a difference than I think any of us realize! Thank you for your support!

We collect food on a continual basis for the Federal Point Help Center. The Federal Point Help Center is our local food pantry/assistance ministry that helps Pleasure Island residents in need of food, clothing, gas, help with utility bills, rent and anything else it can afford to help with. Each month their needs list changes and we collect different items based on their needs.
Help Center needs for August: canned fish, canned fruit, canned chili, Spam or Treet, canned green peas.
