Deadline: Sunday, July 22
The Operation Backpack tree is up and waiting for you to register for a donation. Our junior youth, rising grades 3 through 7, are serving as the leadership team for the project. They will be manning the tree during coffee hour this Sunday, July 1, through Sunday, July 22. They are also available to accept donations.
This is our second year to sponsor Operation Backpack-an outreach program for the Christ Church Cathedral family in cooperation with the Family Intervention Team (FIT). The program was conceived when the FIT case workers realized that children were beginning school without supplies or uniforms.
The goal of the project is to have 20 backpacks filled with loose leaf notebook paper, pencils and pens-one for each child-and enough money for vouchers to be used by case workers to purchase necessary uniform items and school needs for each child. The project deadline is Sunday, July 22. The junior youth will meet Monday, July 23 to gather the donations for distribution.
Office Closed
The Cathedral office is closed through Friday, July 6 but will reopen on Monday, July 9. Our summer hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Regular office hours will resume on Monday, August 6.
