Teacher Support Drive

Join us in blessing teachers and students at Hilda J. Barbour Elementary School, which serves a high proportion of students from low-income families, by donating school supplies for their classrooms. This is a meaningful way to build relationships and share God’s love in the very places where our church family lives and works. 


The Teacher Support Drive begins on July 6, with teachers’ specifically requested items posted in the church entryway. Items should be brought to the church and placed on the table near the Fellowship Hall by July 27 or alternately, delivered to the school by August 1. Questions? Contact Larissa Lisk or Deb Dunn.
