Back to School Blessing and Operation Backpack

Sunday, August 16

Immediately after the processional hymn we will give a Back-to-School blessing for all of our students. We will ask all students and teachers to stand for the blessing. We will also bless notes that will be sent with the Operation Backpack supplies.

Operation Backpack again this year benefits students that are part of Wilmer Hall’s Community Based Education Program. We are looking for a few more sponsors to help defray the cost of the 50 filled backpacks. Each stuffed backpack costs $40. You may sponsor a full backpack, but we will be pleased with donations large and small.

Blessing Box: Help Needed

As we continue to distribute several thousand pounds of food a year through our blessing box on Church Street, we would like to have parishioners sign up for a regular schedule—either weekly, or monthly—to fill the box from our stocked pantry. Particular favorites are canned meats, fruit cups, cheese crackers. Please do not donate canned vegetables.  If you would like to make a commitment to this important ministry, please contact Deacon Pratt at (251) 401-1003.  On the Ministry Table there is also a  daily sign-up for the Blessing Box.  If you are interested in filling the box one time, please add you name to that calendar. Financial donations to the blessing box are always appreciated.
