BLESSING OF THE BACKPACKS



Missions....it's often thought of as that noble cause where one travels to remote parts of the globe to minister to indigenous tribes. Such ministry is indeed important because Jesus did say, "Go and make disciples of all nations..." However, when we think of making a difference one nation we may overlook, if we are not careful, is our own. Even in our community the needs are great. There are some in our "own back yard" who do not have the means to pay for the supplies required for public education. So, today we stuffed some backpacks with the essentials. Next Sunday (August 9) we plan to bless them before we hand them out. It's not too late to get in on the action. Just stuff a back pack with the essentials and bring it to NEW HEIGHTS (meeting at Chelsea Park Elementary at 10 AM) next week. Or if you would like more info, feel free to contact us at info@reachingnewheights.net.
