SUNDAY SCHOOL KICK-OFF-AUGUST 29

BACK TO SCHOOL BACKPACK DRIVE

As we did last year, First Church is participating in the KIDS ABOVE ALL Back to School Backpack Drive. Each year KIDS ABOVE ALL partners with members of the community, as well as faith, corporate and community partners to make sure the school-aged kids in their programs have what they need to succeed this upcoming year. See the flyer alongside for items needed for all ages.

Collection Bins will be in the narthex until August 29.

KIDS ABOVE ALL’s mission is to protect, heal and educate children and families so they can build better lives. They do this through early childhood education, foster care and adoption services, housing for teens and formerly homeless young adults, and counseling. They serve people in Cook, DuPage, Kane and Lake counties.
