Dear Ones ~

Our Kumi Mission Team is busily preparing for their upcoming trip. We, as the Home Team, can support them in many creative ways. Listed below are a few projects that need many hands to complete.

If you have a little bit of time after worship and fellowship hour, we would greatly appreciate your helping hands. We will be working to complete these projects in the next three Sundays.

1 - Collect cardboard egg cartons (not plastic) for planting seeds. We need many, many of them. Bring them to church and give to me.

2 - Someone to transfer videos to DVD and copy DVD for educational lessons. (There are approximately a dozen of these).

3 - Sort, label and organize the various children's books for the school library.

4 - Ask your dentist for a donation of toothbrushes. We need as many of them as possibly available, but do not need tooth paste. Bring them to church and give them to me.

5 - If you have the gift of printing neatly by hand, we need Helping Hands to print 550 names on a rainbow banner. See Becky for this project.

6 - Assemble mini-slate boards, glue 12" by 12" pieces of cardboard with slate-like material for use as a chalkboard.

Thank you for being a part of the Home Team. -
Burt, Home Team Coordinator
