Word of the Week: Abundance

Every month we collect a specific household item in partnership with Greene Alliance of Church/Community Efforts to serve our neighbors in Greene County. For July and August, we took a different tack. Instead of collecting household supplies, we joined them in collecting school supplies to help students start the year off on a good foot.

So how much did we collect?

1 Backpack

1 Pack of Band-aids

1 Scientific Calculator

17 Packs of Crayons

13 Large Erasers

3 Packs of Pencil-Top Erasers

21 Folders

4 Bottles of Glue

50 Glue Sticks

1 Pack of Highlighters

2 Packs of Index Cards

35 Marble Composition Books

8 Packs of Markers

5 Packs of Notebook Paper

49 Spiral Notebooks

2 Rolls of Paper Towels

10 Packs of Colored Pencils

2 Handheld Pencil Sharpeners

7 Packs of Post-It Notes

5 Rulers

4 Scissors

1 Container of Liquid Hand Soap

4 Boxes of Tissues

2 Packs of Zippered Storage Bags

In short: we collected an abundance! We’re committed to be a church that doesn’t exist for ourselves and opportunities like this let us put hands and feet to that value. Thank you so much for joining in this effort. This is what it looks like to be a neighbor!
