Salem Craft Circle Ministry will be discussing our spring service project event — “Lutheran World Relief School Kits” — at our next meeting on Monday (01/28) at 7:00 p.m. in Koinonia Fellowship Hall. For many students around the world there are numerous barriers to getting a good education. Simply purchasing school supplies such as pencils and paper can be too great a cost for many families. Education is one of the strongest tools a community has for breaking the cycle of poverty. School kits contain essential supplies to help children — and in some cases, adults — continue learning in the face of serious obstacles. That learning leads to a better life for them, their families, and their communities. Contact Kathy Kostroske (913-888-3233 or KLJK278@gmail.com) if you have any questions. The Craft Circle Ministry meets on the fourth Monday of every month.
