God’s Work – Our Hands

Special Collection for Quinton Heights
During the month of July, Social Ministries is sponsoring a special drive to collect hand sanitizer for the classrooms at Quinton Heights School. The goal is 100 bottles of sanitizer that will be donated to the classroom teachers to use as needed. A table for the donations is set up near the Information Center.

In July we are collecting:
Topeka Rescue Mission:  Measuring spoons and cups
Doorstep:  School supplies
Quinton Heights Elementary School:  Elmer’s Glue, No. 2 pencils and Crayola markers

You may leave your donations at the display in the concourse. Thank you for your generosity to these organizations and to the people they serve!

Blood Drive
Thanks to everyone who donated blood June 20. Twenty-six individuals signed in with 22 being successful donors. Many of us will require a blood transfusion at some point in our lives. The lives you help save will probably not be people that you know, but with your donation, you have helped someone’s mother, father, child, or friend. What a perfect gift you have given!

Box Tops for Education
You can help your schools just by clipping a little coupon off the package of so many things that you buy and use around your home. Cereal of all sorts, Pillsbury, Yoplait, Hamburger Helper, Old El Paso, Betty Crocker, Kleenex, Ziploc products and more have little red/pink coupons on them. Please take a an extra moment and clip these to help make our schools better. A collection basket for these coupons is located on the wooden collection box near the west entrance to the church. A list of products is on the bulletin board at the church.

Pop Tabs for Ronald McDonald House
A basket for aluminum pop tabs is located on the wooden collection box near the west entrance to the church.
