School Supplies and Free Market
It is time to start collecting school supplies for our community backpack giveaway at the Free Market on Saturday, August 5. Last year we collected enough supplies and backpacks to provide 116 for our community. This really blesses the children in our area when they have a brand new backpack and the supplies they need to start school.
We need crayons, pencils, ink pens, markers, highlighters, wide-ruled notebook paper, spiral notebooks, composition books, pencil sharpeners, pencil cases, Kleenex, pocket folders, 3 ring binders, school glue, glue sticks, sharpies, erasures, and post it notes. We also need some cute backpacks for the younger kids. We have had a donation of 50 plain black backpacks that the older kids prefer.
Don’t forget, also, to start gathering your items to give away at the free market. In the past, we have given away everything from baby items, furniture, toys, books, clothing and anything else in really good shape that you are willing to part with. This is not a garage sale. Everything is free.
If you have not participated before, you will find this to be a day that you will receive more of a blessing than those you give items to. Mark your calendar for August 5 at 9 am and bring your trunk full of items to share.
Note from the History Committee
The church History Committee is documenting how the COVID pandemic affected the church – both the institution and the members. Five years from now memories will have grown dim and 25 years from now few if any will remember how Fee Fee dealt with the life altering pandemic. If you would like to share how the pandemic affected your life, write it up and send a copy to the church office. If you have questions, feel free to contact committee chairman Larry Land.
Blood Drive
It’s time again to give life-saving blood. July 27 the Red Cross will be here in our gym and you have an opportunity to give. Get online at http://feefeebc.org/blooddrive/ to set up an appointment. You can also call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to schedule your donation. On our website you will find helpful info about donating including who can donate and how to donate.
