Kids Above All Backpack Drive
Help a child start the school year with confidence! Our annual School Supply Drive benefits nearly 100 children served by Kids Above All. Pick up a grade-level supply list in the Narthex (or scan the red QR code below), and return donated school supplies and backpacks by Sunday, July 26. Then join us for worship on Sunday, August 2, as we bless the backpacks and pray for students, teachers, school staff, and families as they begin a new school year. Thank you for helping our neighbors begin the school year with hope and confidence!
