Children’s Book Donations Needed
Recently Jennifer Durand’s and Ernesto Rodriguez’ niece lost her fight against colon cancer. To carry on Luz Angela’s memory and love of teaching, a reading corner will be developed at the UH Downtown campus in Alief.
To help build the “Luz’ Reading Corner,” Jennifer is collecting new and “very gently used” children’s books, especially books about geography, social studies and science, although Jennifer is accepting any and all children’s books. A collection container is located by the church office. If interested please write Luz Angela’s name and your name (the donor) on the inside book cover. With the new school year quickly approaching, the deadline for donating books is July 25.
Making Children Smile
Jennifer and Jana Burnham are using their Mustard Seed project to help needy children in families served by BIM. They are asking for donations of new small stuffed animals, toothbrushes and paste. The stuffed animals will bring smiles and comfort to the children and the toothbrushes and paste will provide good basic dental hygiene. Donation boxs are outside the church office and in McPhail Hall.
