College Care Packages:

can send out care packages in the new year. If you have a child or grandchild who is both a member and college age, please forward his/her name, mailing address at school (email and mobile phone too, if possible), and a few particulars (i.e. college name, field of study, expected completion, etc.) to Christina in the church office. Also let her know if you would be willing to help with donating items and assembling/mailing these care packages when we get to that point.
