Lenten Stewardship Project
LWR Personal Care Kits

Lent may be a time of reflection, but it need not be one of inaction. This Lent, the board of stewardship is encouraging the congregation to put God’s love in action by making Lutheran World Relief Personal Care Kits. Across the globe, families have been suffering from compounding crises such as war, violence, natural disasters, disease and extreme weather. We want to announce to the world that Christ makes a new season possible: a Season of Hope. We’re excited to engage in this project as a church family during our Lenten journey this year.

Each week, a different item will be collected in the lobby. 
Week 1 (2/17-18): Bars of Soap (2-3 bars, 4 to 5 oz., any brand, in original wrapping)
Week 2 (2/24-25): Bath Towels (light-weight, maximum 52”x27”, dark color recommended)
Week 3 (3/2-3): Toothbrushes (adult size, in original packaging)
Week 4 (3/9-10): Combs
Week 5 (3/16-17): Nail Clippers (metal, attached file optional)
A handout listing the above schedule and items will also be available in the lobby.

We welcome any donations you can provide. The board of stewardship will add to what is collected to ensure we have enough for each personal care kit.
