October Service Project
Our worship theme for the month of October is "Buildings and Builders." During this month we will partner with the Esmirna School for the Deaf in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. One hundred deaf students attend the day school and their afterschool programs serves more than 250 poor children in the local neighborhood. As the number of children wanting to attend the school has grown they have started building additional classrooms. One way Mustard Seed students can help this growing school is to provide school supplies!
We will begin the collection tomorrow and it will continue through Thursday, October 28.
Each grade level at MSS will collect a specific item:
K: new boxes of crayons
1st: new boxes of markers
2nd: glue sticks
3rd: kids scissors
4th: tape (rolls of masking tape and scotch tape)
5th: one subject spiral notebooks
6th: pens
7th: pencils
8th: pocket folders
Mustard Seed Alum Oscar Velez '89 is organizing a work team from a local church to help with construction of the school building. In early November, the team will travel to Honduras and will deliver the supplies we collect for the children. Jason Battaglia, our MSS School Board President and his wife will also be serving on this team.
