You can make a difference in the lives of people suffering from political upheaval and environmental disasters. Join the World Outreach committee and donate to the Personal Care Kit Drive from Sunday, October 9th to Sunday, October 23rd.
We ask the congregation to join us and support LWR by gathering supplies and making kits at home. Bring the kits with you to October services or drop them off at the church office anytime during offfice hours!
Include the Following in Each Personal Care Kit:

- Bath towels vary in size.
- The 52” X 27” size listed in the guidelines is the maximum size.
- The 20” x 40” is a good guideline for a minimum.

How to Pack Your Personal Care Kits:
