NEWS & NOTES:

See bulletin board for thank-you letter from Camp Luz for our recent Missions/Outreach Offering contribution.

The July edition of On the Level is now available from Mennonite Disaster Service.  In our current issue:  MDS volunteers celebrate creativity during the pandemic, how the Covid Relief Fund kept church doors open and what hope looks like in small town Texas.  See https://conta.cc/3emcUFF or see bulletin board.

MCC urgently needs sewing kits!  Our supply of sewing kits has been depleted, and we need your help.  In many places where MCC works, sewing skills open doors to additional income that can help a family make ends meet.  These kits are often given through MCC-supported programs that teach sewing or tailoring and provide the tools to make and mend clothing or to begin a business.  For more information, including a list of kit contents, visit mcc.org/kits/sewing  Completed kits can be dropped off or mailed to the Kidron Material Resources Center at MCC Connections (4080 Kidron Rd, Dalton, OH 44618). Contact the MCC Great Lakes office at 574-534-4071 or GreatLakes@mcc.org with questions.
