Refugee Care Kit Drive

Worldwide, nearly 60 million people are displaced by war and violence--the largest crisis of its kind since World War II. Half of these people are children.

The Church, as the body of Christ, is called to care for the least, the stranger, and the vulnerable.

OUR GOAL AT MESSIAH CHURCH AND SCHOOL:
Assemble and pack 100 personal care kits and 100 baby care kits to ship to Lutheran World Relief. Read more about this bold project.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Gather items (read what we need here)
Spread the word! Share this email, and share our posts on facebook.

Volunteer Lunch Monitors Needed

Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays
Looking for a way to help out at Messiah? Are you good at working with kids? Have some time regularly available at mid-day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays? Messiah is looking for cafeteria monitor volunteers. Monitors help students sign in for lunch, help monitor behavior (which, in general, is quite good), and help dismiss students in an orderly fashion. Available to help us out from 11:00-1:00? Send Mrs. Casselberry an email at hcasselberry@messiahfp.org.
