The school supply campaign is nearing completion as four more generous donations came in during service this morning, which is an interesting story: During Sunday school, we decided to set the overflowing containers of school supplies out for display (which will do again next Sunday, with delivery slated for the week school begins) in the narthex. During service, much to our surprise and delight, the scripture lesson from Romans 5: 1-5 included these words: "By entering through faith . . . we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary--we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit."
These words expressed perfectly our sentiments as we exceeded $600, the amount we had spent on supplies. Thanks to all who generously supported this project. It is our hope and prayer that these materials will help ease the discomfort of poverty in our community.
