ANNUAL SCHOOL SUPPLIES COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION

It will be time for school to start back before we know it.  Gibsontown Ministries and First Baptist Church are getting ready for our annual school supply distribution.  Monday, July 29th at 9:00 am is the deadline to have the supplies to First Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall.  Volunteers are needed to help bag the supplies on Monday, July 29th.  Distribution will be the following Friday at Gibsontown Ministries, 1022 Dorothy Street.  Volunteers will be needed that day as well.  Students who have pre-registered will pick up a package of grade appropriate supplies on Friday, August 2nd from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. 

Last year over 250 students were given packages of grade appropriate supplies through Gibsontown Ministries under the coordination of First Baptist Church with the help of several area churches.  Would you prayerfully consider giving students a hand up as school starts back by helping to provide their needed supplies?  Would you encourage your church to participate?
