LWR | Quilts & Kits | school supplies drive
Praise the Lord!
Lutheran World Relief pre-positions quilts and kits that are made by groups just like Shepherd's Quilts and Kits. A note from LWR: The LWR products previously provided to San Antonio demonstrated the amazing value of pre-positioning supplies. Within 12 hours of the flash floods, products were in the hands of those who needed them most. Thank you for being Christ’s love in the world!
School Supplies
Did you see the school backpack kits our team prepared and sent when we dedicated the quilts and kits in April? They will be used to support children in disaster situations here and around the world. We sew the backpacks and fill them with school supplies. These supplies are often on sale in July and August. Our goal is to make and fill 73 backpacks. Items may be dropped off at the church office. We are collecting supplies until Monday, September 1.
ELC Board Opportunity
The ELC Board is looking for two Shepherd members to join the board. This involves a small monthly time commitment, and gives you the privilege of assisting with various activities during the school year. Meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7pm and last about 90 minutes. Please contact Chris Skirde at chrisskirde@comcast.net with any questions or to volunteer!
Arapahoe Police Department Training
Training for Arapahoe Deputies will take place at Shepherd on four Wednesdays in July. The training in our facility will bring in role players as victims, a shooter (who is a deputy), trainers, and the deputies. The training is about 10 hours each day including some during evening hours. If you have any questions, please contact the office.
