Kitchen of Hope is still collecting for Tools for Schools.  Donations of all types of school supplies are welcome!  Anticipated distribution will be at the August KoH giveaway.

The ECW will be meeting Thursday, 10 August at 10AM in the Kitchen of Hope garage to pack backpacks for the Tools for Schools distribution the following week.  Discussions and planning for upcoming events will take place as well.  See Linda K. for details.

If you would like to contribute to the altar flowers, as a thanksgiving or memorial, or just to the glory of God, please contact Donna F., at church or via email, dlfesq@aol.com, and let her know.
