This year we are collecting items to go in Stephen’s Backpacks for disadvantaged children in Saskatchewan. Backpacks are given to children from infant to 18 years old and are filled to overflowing with brand new items. Some items like blankets, scarves, mittens and hats are lovingly homemade while the rest is store-bought. Click here for a list of items needed.  Items may be placed in the collection box in the church lobby. If you wish, you may donate a fully packed backpack or even partner with someone else to put one together. Collection Deadline: Sunday, December 1 For more information about Stephen’s Backpack’s visit their website at www.stephensbackpacks.com.
