Social Ministry Committee- Multitudes of people have become displaced as natural disasters have occurred around the world.  Because they have to flee their homes so quickly, they don not have any time to pack essential items.  In an effort to provide some dignity and cleanliness for these individuals, we will be collecting new bars of soap.  All sizes are accepted, however, bath-size bars (4-5oz) are preferred.  Any brand soap, with the exception of Irish Spring, in its original packaging is          acceptable.  Please place your contributions in the blue box marked ”Soap for the World” located in the Narthex.  We will be collecting these items during the summer months and they will be sent to Lutheran World Relief for distribution.  Thank you for your generous support.
