WOMEN’S CLUB

 As the beginning of the school year nears and supplies are at great prices, Women’s Club will once again be helping supply School and Teacher Kits to Orphan Grain Train.  The goal at the start will be 50 school kits, and 10 teacher kits. Below are the supplies that are needed.

School Kits

 * 1 Backpack

* 2 spiral notebooks (70 sheets)

* 2 pencils

* 2 pens

* 10 sheets of construction paper

* 1 pkg. crayons (24 count)

* 1 ruler

* 2 glue sticks

* 1 scissors

* 1 eraser

* 1 pkg. colored pencils (12 count)

* 1 pencil sharpener

 Teacher Kits

 * 1  12 pack pencils

* 1 12 pack chalk (white or colored)

* 1 chalkboard eraser

* 4  highlighters

* 1 adult scissors

* 1 ruler

* 1 pencil sharpener

 (Some normally listed items have been omitted on the Teacher Kits due to having some supplies left over from last year.)

The date for the Kit assembly is August 29, 9:30 a.m. in Classroom A. We are looking forward to once again participating in this project because we know that it will benefit those in need.  If you would like more information on Orphan Grain Train and its impact on people near and far, check out their website on www.ogt.org.  We are thankful for their generosity in sharing Jesus’ love to others. 

Special Needs Social Group

As young adults transition from high school classes through the Special Ed programs and sponsored work assignments, they lose touch with peers, and in some cases become isolated in our busy world. We are serving these individuals in our community, ages 18-35, with a safe place to meet once a month (second Sunday of each month) to reconnect with peers, and hopefully, make new friends.  This group meets the second Sunday of each month at 2:00 p.m.

In September, we will celebrate the one year anniversary of this special group. During this past year, we have had the privilege of meeting incredible young adults and their families. By hosting this group at Concordia, we are helping and encouraging these young people to continue to build social and communications skills, allowing them to enjoy themselves in a safe environment, and make new friends.

Future fun events are planned. August will be wet with outdoor water activities. September will be the one year anniversary party, including Bingo and prizes. In October, we’ll have a costume party including a DJ and dancing.

If you would like to assist this group with the planned activities - help with table set up, food servicing or just to support the group, contact the church office.
