Help us Celebrate with Stacy and Jacob as they welcome their new little one in October. St Paul would like to shower them with diapers. They are planning to make use of cloth diapers, which are pre-folded, snap with one size fits all in mind, with less impact on the environment. They will be blessed with ANY TYPE of diapers that folks are willing to give, but the preference is cloth. Drop your gifts off at Miss Nena’s office.
The October Service Activity is Ella White Elementary School. Items needed: sweatpants/leggings – sizes 6-14, underwear – sizes 6-14, tennis shoes – all kids sizes, snacks for students – any type of prepackaged snack item is beneficial. Please leave your donations on the altar. Thank you for your generosity.
