Empty gallon-size storage bags containing a list of basic items and instructions will be handed out at the end of worship today and next Sunday. Please return the bag to the church by Sunday, March 4, filled with some or all of the listed toiletries and snacks. In addition, the Synod Youth are collecting sturdy backpacks to help with distribution. In your filled Care Kit, consider adding a favorite Bible verse and/or prayer for the recipient. This is a great project for all ages and enables us to serve a neighbor in need.

Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you? -Luke 25: 37-38
