It has been a good
while since Our Saviour has sent anything to Lutheran World Relief. With that
in mind, I wish to issue a challenge to our congregation. Martha has 30 plus
school kit bags sewn and looking for contents. Is Our Saviour capable of filling
these? Can we do 50? Are you up
to the challenge?
Here is what we
need for each bag:
Notebooks of wide- or college-ruled paper approximately 8” X 10
½” totaling 150-200 sheets (if using 70-sheet notebooks, please include three); no loose-leaf paper.
One blunt scissors
(safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well)
One 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
One pencil sharpener
Six new, unsharpened
#2 pencils with erasers; secure together with a rubber band
One eraser approximately
2 ½” long
12 sheets of construction paper in assorted colors (if necessary, fold
in half to fit into the school bag
One box of 16 or
24 crayons
To sweeten the deal this is what I will do. If we go over 35 bags I will
learn to use a sewing machine and help sew bags. Come on!!! We can do this!!!!
