Fill the Rail Ministry has started up for the year! This ministry, which runs from August to May, helps various organizations around the area by collecting needed items with the help of members and friends of Eleva Lutheran and bringing them to our communion rail. At the end of the month the items are packaged up and sent the chosen organization.
For the month of August and we will be collecting school supplies for Lutheran World Relief. LWR School Kits contain essential supplies to help children — and in some cases, adults — continue learning in the face of serious obstacles. That learning leads to a better life for them, their families and their communities. Any item from the list below will be greatly appreciated.
EACH SCHOOL KIT WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
* FOUR 70-sheet notebooks of wide- or college-ruled paper, approximately 8” x 10 ½”; no loose leaf paper
* ONE 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
* ONE pencil sharpener
* ONE pair of blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well)
* FIVE unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers; secure together with a rubber band
* FIVE black or blue ballpoint pens (no gel ink); secure together with a rubber band
* ONE box of 16 or 24 crayons
* ONE 2 ½” eraser
* ONE sturdy drawstring backpack-style cloth bag, approximately 14” x 17” with shoulder straps (no standard backpacks)
