SCUBA VBS Outreach

Our VBS kids are always ready to “DIVE IN” when it comes to helping others! Our first Scuba assignment will be collecting food for the Damascus Pantry to help community families. We invite the congregation to contribute to our collection as well. A list of most needed foods will be available in the narthex if you’d like to pick up a few items!

 

Our young Scuba Divers will also assemble Backpacks filled with school supplies for children in our community. Just as a Diver needs the proper gear to safely navigate the oceans, a child needs a Backpack filled with supplies to successfully navigate in school! Let’s all “dive-in” to help prepare children for the upcoming Fall year. Needed items are as follows (must be new please):

 

  • Boxes of Crayons (24 count)
  • Boxes of Pencils (12 count)
  • Boxes of Colored Pencils (12 count)
  • Scissors (for K-3rd grade)
  • Gluesticks (any size package)
  • Composition Notebooks
  • Packs of Wide Ruled paper
  • 3-ring Binders (2” wide)
  • Backpacks (17” – 20” size)

 

We will begin collecting in June. Please look for our SCUBA Submarine collection container in the narthex. Monetary donations towards supplies are also appreciated. Please contact Leslie Hinkle with questions, Lhinkle123@aol.com or 301-717-7033. Thank you!

 

 

 

2023 Holiday Food Drive

We collected non-perishable foods to fill baskets the children assembled for our sponsored Damascus Help families. Many families need assistance this year and all donations helped! Thank you!

2023 Our House Christmas Party

Church members bought gifts from our "Angel Tree" for the residents of Our House. St Paul also presented a check for $1500. It was a great party!
