6. Bridgeport Fellowship I CARE Outreach ministry opportunities

Dear Friend of our I CARE Outreach,

Greetings in Christ!

Can you join us in helping to meet back to school supplies for needy students in Bridgeport? Considering these tough economic times families are struggling even more to provide school supplies.

Our goal is to share love in this city by giving backpacks loaded with school supplies to needy students in Bridgeport. Please see http://www.efcneda.org/pubs/2010BacktoSchoolNeeds.doc to fill a backpack loaded for school supplies. Working directly with the Principal and Social Worker in Bridgeport Schools we will begin distributing backpacks from the week of August 22nd through September 10th.

You and your group can help meet basic school supplies for students in need. Please call if you need further info and to coordinate delivery.

Your fellow laborer in Christ,

Pastor Rob Turner
