  • 2020 School Tools Campaign: Our children will be returning to school shortly. Due to COVID, instruction in most districts will begin virtually. However, our children still need school supplies in order to assist them with their learning. Many our students are coming from households where resources were already low. Now they have been impacted even more due to the pandemic. Here is where we can stand in the gap and meet a need. Today we are officially launching our 2020 School Tools Campaign We are asking all who can to personally participate as well as to recruit colleagues, friends and neighbors to collect school supplies thru September 11th. There will be one drop off date for the supplies that you collect. That date is Saturday September 12th. Members in the South region can drop off the collected supplies at the designated times at the church building. Members in the North Region can drop off supplies at the church building or the Dames house in Harrisburg. This year all supplies collected will be given to:
    • Students in our church who are in need. All you need to do is notify your small group leader if your child needs supplies.
    • The remainder of the supplies collected will be donated to our community partner - Ashley Park Elementary which is a Title I School located just a few miles from the front door of our church.
    • Thank you for your continued prayers and support. If you have additional questions please contact me at mikedames@prodigy.net or 704-724-2362
