Tools for Galveston, THIS Sunday, March 7

We are collecting tools this coming Sunday for the Episcopal Hurricane Ike Relief Efforts on Galveston Island. Tools needed are:
 
  • screwdrivers
  • utility knives
  • paint brushes
  • duct tape
  • paint tray liners
  • wire brushes
A challenge has been issued for this, Father Jim+ said this was not as fun as Teddy Bear Sunday or as weird as Undie Sunday, so we usually don't get as many items - but I know there are a lot of you who love your tools - so let's make this the biggest collection so far this year!!

COK Teddy Bear
Last week we collected stuffed animals for the children at Shriner's Children's Hospital in Houston.

Great job everyone!
We collected a total of
132 stuffed animals!!


Thank you to Angela Smith and Chris Wells for taking pictures, counting and delivering the animals.
Bring your donations each week throughout Lent for our Campaign of Kindness. On Sunday mornings, please keep the items with you in the pews until you come forward to receive communion. Children in God Rocks! may bring their donations in when they join the main worship service at communion.

Thank you all for making our annual Campaign of Kindness a blessing for this year's recipients.
 
In Christ,
