In Sunday School on Sept 30th the students learned about the Ronald McDonald House and their mission of providing a home for sick children and their families while in treatment. The students worked together to make fall decorations that will be used to brighten the dining room and any other areas of the House. The students were also given a wish list from the Ronald McDonald House for items that are needed by the House and the families. These items will be collected until Sunday, October 28th. There will be a collection box placed in the hallway that these items can be placed in. Also the offering for the next month will be used for the House to possibly purchase gift cards for items they do not normally receive or to cover a night of lodging since they do not ask the families to pay the entire cost. Below is a list of the items that are being collected. If you have any questions about this project, please contact Merri Owen.
