August Blanket Drive On Now!

Each week many Christian families face religious persecution in their home countries.  Through our "Feed My Sheep" food bank ministry, we feed many families in San Diego each week.  But along with food needs, we have many refugee families coming to San Diego each week who will need warmth for the upcoming winter. 

Would you be able to help?  We need new or gently used blankets, quilts, comforters and afghans for all bed sizes.   Please bring to church on Sundays throughout the month of August.

See Carri Butler for more information.  CarriButler@yahoo.com.

Thank you so much for your generosity and sharing the love of Jesus in such a tangible way!
