The Peace, Affirmation, & Justice committee is collecting items for people serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you have relatives or friends serving there, please bring in a photo which we will display on our bulletin board in Fellowship Hall.  We will begin collecting items to send them soon, culminating in a collection on November 7th, the Sunday closest to Veteran's Day.  Here is a list of what is needed so you can be gathering your items.

Disposable razors, baby wipes, Solar Shower (about $6 at Walmart, camping department), tube socks (thick dark brown or black), underwear, (large especially, but all sizes), plastic bags (kitchen trash bags are good for laundry), cotton swabs, toothbrushes and tooth paste, boot inserts, odor eaters, Lamisil powder & creams, hand sanitizer, eye drops, lotion, sun block (sport with HIGH spf), vitamins, peanut butter, crackers, canned chicken/ turkey, chewy bars, granola bars, containers of Country Time lemonade/Gatorade, El Paso or tortillas that last a LONG TIME, those with beans and salsa are always welcome. Canned soup and fruits (pop top lids are nice), instant oatmeal with flavors and Poptarts are good.
