REMINDER–82%: That is the number of students at Harry Abate Elementary School on 11th Street in Niagara Falls that come from families living at or below the poverty level. Our summer collection of school supplies, socks, and underwear will end soon. Your gifts will be distributed directly to the students at Harry Abate by their teachers as they determine each student’s need. Besides children’s sized socks and underwear, all types of school supplies (spiral notebooks, folders, paper, pencils, pens, markers, crayons, glue sticks, etc.) are needed. Your help is genuinely appreciated.
AUGUST MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to assist the flash flood victims in Texas. Over 135 people were killed by flood waters, including children attending a Christian summer camp. Hundreds of structures were destroyed, and hundreds were left homeless. We will be working with our church’s Texas District, which has guaranteed that 100% of your donations will go directly to aid those who have been impacted by the floods. To donate, use your mission envelope during August or donate online under “monthly mission”.
Financial Peace University: September through November, 9 classes. Break out of the normal – living paycheck to paycheck or in debt. See insert. Contact Lacey at 716-525-5134 to attend.
