Bonnie Rogers, Ashley Baker, Julie Hill and Shannon Wallace braved the heat to collect school supplies for area children. The supplies will be distributed to children whom school counselors and teachers have identified as not having the resources to begin the school year. This service project allows these children to go to school with feelings of pride rather than shame. Over 150 children will be helped this year by donations of supplies and uniforms.
Thank you to Ashley Smith for organizing this service project. Many thanks to West Point residents for donating supplies and uniforms. Our projects would not be a success without your help!
Junior Auxiliary Prayer
Send us, O God, as Thy messengers to the hearts without a home, to lives without love, to the crowds without a guide. Send us to the children whom none have blessed, to the famished whom none have visited, to the fallen whom none have lifted, to the bereaved whom none have comforted. Kindle Thy flame on the altars of our hearts, that others may be warmed thereby; cause Thy light to shine in our souls, that others may see the way; keep our sympathies and insight ready, our wills keen, our hands quick to help others in their need. Grant us clear vision, true judgement, with great daring as we seek to right the wrong; and so endow us with cheerful love that we may minister to the suffering and forlorn even as Thou wouldst. May the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, rest upon us and upon all our work. May He give us light to guide us, courage to support us, and love to unite us now and forever more. Amen.
