Next Friday night we'll open our doors to families in Dare (and some from surrounding counties) to pick up school supplies provided by the generosity of NHCers and others in our community.
This Sunday is Backpack Sunday. This year we're looking for the heaviest backpacks, filled with a variety of school supplies. There will be a weigh-in before each Gathering in the lobby! The winners in each gathering will get a gift certificate to Cold Stone Creamery.
All week we'll be receiving donations of school supplies at the church office. Stop by any time. After hours we'll have a container inside the foyer where you can drop them off. Anyone is welcome to donate.
Don't forget that this weekend you can get extra savings because there is no state sales tax on school supplies. And many stores have some great specials going on as well.
Thanks to Dare Co. Schools for putting a school bus on our parking lot to help spread the word!
Pray for opportunities to use this outreach as a vehicle to share the Gospel. Giving out free stuff to those in need is showing Christ-likeness. Sharing salvation, however is why we exist.
