Grace

The kids in Sunday school at Grace are hoping you will join them in helping
kids have school supplies for the coming year. If you are a parent, help
your kids engage with this mission opportunity by collecting change, picking
out extra supplies as you shop these next few months, and encouraging them
to save. If you are not a parent, consider helping as well. There are two
ways to help:
