First Week in Lent (Feb. 29-March 8)
One light-weight bath towel, dark color recommended, size between 20”x40” and 27”x52”
As part of our Lenten journey this year, we will be collecting items to assemble Personal Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief (LWR). We will be helping to provide basic hygiene items to people throughout the world who are afflicted by war, displacement, poverty and natural disasters. This is a simple, but important way to share God’s grace and love by providing some of life’s essential items, as well as reminding them that they are not alone. Each week during Lent we will collect a different item for the kits. Each Personal Care Kit consists of a bath towel, 2-3 bars of soap, and a toothbrush, comb and nail clipper. All items should be new. LWR also adds toothpaste when the kits are given to those in need at the destination site.
Please put all items in the marked bin in the narthex. After Easter, the 6th grade Sunday School class will be assembling the kits and preparing them for delivery.
