School Supply Drive

Attention all members and friends of Our Saviour —The Elderberries have been contacted by the staff at Saluda River Academy for Arts with regard to collecting much needed supplies for children returning to school in early August. They are in need of book bags as well as school supplies. Clothing items such as shorts and lightweight pants in all children’s sizes. Gently used are also acceptable. Anything is appreciated. A box will be in the Narthex for the collection beginning July 1st. Likewise, if you’d like to make a donation, please note it on your check or cash in an envelope. For more information contact Linda Griffith.

On Sunday, September 7, we’ll bless students and educators as a new school
year begins. We’ll also kick off another year of Sunday School,
forming faith among us through learning, music, and community.

SAVE THE DATE: RETIREMENT RECEPTION FOR BRENT HOLCOMB
