Thanks for Packing the Packs!

You all really are the best.... thanks to those who stayed after church last Sunday and helped us load the LEMS backpacks. It went very smoothly, and we can't thank each of you enough!

Whether you were there or not, if you can, please stop by the lower level of New Brick tomorrow, August 22, at 2:30 p.m. to help load the school supplies into cars and drive them to LEMS. That afternoon, they will host their Annual Back-to-School Block Party, where families will register their children and enjoy a picnic from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. You are welcome to help distribute the backpacks to those appreciative students and families.

And don't forget to stop by the LEMS table at the Parish Festival and Ministry Fair tomorrow, right after our special service time of 10:00 a.m. Grab some delicious BBQ lunch, enjoy some of the entertainment that's in store... and maybe, if you're adventurous, have a go at the bouncy castle! You can take home a new LEMS brochure that gives you a broad outline of what we're about and why we provide support to the students in our own community. There are a lot of LEMS-related activities and events throughout the year, and we can always use more people, so email LEMS@christchurchcolumbia.org and we'll let you know how you can help.
