This past Sunday during worship, our pastors led a special blessing over backpacks and school supplies donated by our Surfside UMC family. These items, collected over the past several weeks, will soon be delivered to Help 4 Kids, an organization serving children in our local community.
Thanks to your generosity, many children will begin the school year with the tools they need — from pencils and notebooks to backpacks and crayons — and with the encouragement of knowing their community cares for them. Each backpack is more than just supplies; it is a message of love, hope, and support that will travel with these children into their classrooms.
We are grateful for every gift and for every person who took the time to shop, pack, and pray over these donations. This simple act is a powerful example of what it means to “live out the love of Jesus” in our community.
Thank you for helping make sure our local children step into the new school year prepared, confident, and blessed.
