First Grade Friday News - January 28


Check out these opportunities to share God’s love with people around the world:
 
  • Chapel offerings through February 13,  will go to Heifer International.  We will start by buying a water buffalo to give to a family overseas. Water buffalos will provide families with milk and help in the planting of crops.  Send your banks back to school when they are full.
·        Two members of Christ Lutheran are traveling to Rwanda to visit the Rwandan Orphans Project (ROP). We want to send basic necessities with them for these school-aged boys!  During National Lutheran Schools Week (January 28-Feb 1), we are collecting the following items to send to these boys: Blue and black ink pens, Black cotton socks (for boys, ages 5-18), Cotton underwear (for boys, ages 5-18), Soccer balls (we will send them deflated.)

  • Your children can read books on the site:  wegivebooks.org    When children read books on this site, books are donated to global literacy charities.
