Brunson Elementary School Supply Collection
It is time once again for our annual school supply collection for Brunson Elementary school. Below you will find a list of the most needed school supplies to donate. This year, we also have an Amazon wishlist where you can send supplies directly to Brunson, if you are unable to bring donations to church or live out of town. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/32Q61204OVGJQ/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex You can also donate money and we will purchase school supplies with the funds. Just put Brunson Elementary in the memo line of your check. The following is a list of supplies that they have requested. Every single donation is appreciated.

Calvary Moravian Women’s Day
Sisters, please mark Saturday, September 19th in your calendar. You are invited to attend a special day just for-you! We will discuss ways to anchor to community, church and even ourselves. Enjoy a fantastic lunch (vegetarian, and gluten-free options will be provided), engage in a speaker lead discussion with small group conversation, and participate in a service project benefiting those most vulnerable in our community. Last year’s event proved to be so beneficial for all involved. Please join us and not only may you leave more anchored to God, you will feel more anchored to your sisters in Christ. More information & registration will be provided this summer. Want to invite another special woman in your life? Please do! Fellows, want to help? There will be opportunities. Thank you!
