OUTREACH
Seeking Beads & Containers Camp Art Projects
Isobel Coney is planning art projects for Camp Resurrección and seeks unused beads, charms, and plastic or cardboard takeout containers or clamshells. Please drop them in the donation boxes in the narthex, underneath the staff photos. Thank you!
Clean Out Your Pantry & Closets in Support of Our Outreach Ministries
Grace Outreach is collecting food, supplies, and children’s clothing for the families at La Iglesia de la Resurrección in Mount Vernon. We're also partnering with Helpline House on their Back to School clothes drive, which will coincide with Project Backpack in August.
Look for the marked collection bins in the narthex, where you can contribute: gently used or new children’s clothing, children’s books, diapers, especially size 5, and non-perishable food.
Thank you to the Crew Leaders and adult volunteers who are helping to make our summer camps possible.
Can't join us for camp this year? You'll find a full Camp Resurrección wish list in the narthex or on our website.
