The Community's Back 2 School Event

BACK 2 SCHOOL EVENT

AUG. 9 from 9am-12pm

Just wanted to let everyone know that this weekend, Friday August 1st-Sunday August 3rd is tax-free weekend for school supplies and school clothing. If you haven't purchased school supplies for the Back-to-School event on August 9th, this weekend would be a great time to do so. Also, Office Max has crayons for a penny per box. Each person can get 3 boxes at a time, but you can go each day.

The following are the items we are in most need of:

ziplock bags

tissues

hand sanitizer

scissors

Also, we still need some glue sticks, wide-rule paper, crayons, pencils, pens, and pink erasers.

Below is the numbers of what we already have here at the church just to give everyone an idea of where we stand.

Pencils---33 packs
Erasers---29 packs
Glue Sticks---89 packs
Crayons--- 72 packs
Paper---91 packs
Tissues---11 boxes
Scissors--- 34 pairs

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"

Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do."

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet.

For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
