Save your milk jugs! We are collecting gallon size white or clear plastic milk jugs. Look for a box in the Narthex and place your rinsed out milk jugs there. We need 428 milk jugs to be exact….they are going to be used to create an igloo for our Everest VBS campers.

The Poland mission team leaving at the end of June is collecting any size color beads & charms (to make necklaces and bracelets) and tennis racquets that are still in good condition. Please drop off your donations in the box in the Narthex marked “Poland Sports Camp.”
