Service and Missions Team
Barrel of the Month
The month of April the Service and Missions Team has been collecting gently used or new books for elementary age children. We are currently reaching out to Title 1 schools in the area that will need these resources for their students to have summer reading.
Please help us reach our goal of 500 books!
So it is with children who learn to read fluently and well: They begin to take flight into whole new worlds as effortlessly as young birds take to the sky. —William James
