Cold/allergy medication (non-alcoholic), Cough drops, Vitamins – multi
and C, Antibiotic ointment.
Donation drop off times are before 10am and after 5pm daily. Thank
you for help.
Crayons
Calculators
The
Outreach committee is currently collecting school supplies to fill 8
backpacks for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in the Boulder Valley and
St.Vrain School Districts through the Crayons to Calculators program. A
sign up sheet is currently in the back of the church and the supplies
need to be turned in by Sunday, August 8th. If you wish
to donate money instead, we will give it to the program and they will
use it to buy items that are still needed. Just write "school
supplies" in your check memo.
Thanks.
Make No
Malaria Happen
The World Health
Organization reports that most of the approximately 1 million deaths
from malaria reported worldwide in 2006 were African children under 5
years old. You can be part of creating a world in which we can do more
than imagine No
Malaria,
we can see it happen.
Heifer Project
The Youth and Children
are collecting funds in the glass pig to support the Heifer
Project. Heifer's
mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to
care for the earth by facilitating the equitable sharing of the planet's
resources. Heifer's strategy is to “pass on the gift.” Our
contribution will provide an animal for a family and that family will
share their animals’ offspring with others – along with their
knowledge, resources, and skills – an expanding network of hope,
dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe.
Bring
your loose change on the second Sunday of each month, Children's Sunday,
and help fill the pig.

Iraqi
Children
The Youth and congregation
collected soccer balls, candy, and stuffed animals for Jared
Knowlden's unit to share with the Iraqi children. Jared
(Dennis and Minetta's son) drops these items from his helicopter.
Jared also reports that the soldiers could use snacks such as jerky,
crackers, etc. He also said LETTERS are great, and most soldiers
don't get many letters. We shipped over 70 pounds of supplies to
Iraq.
