St. John’s mission trip to the Kwasa Centre is collecting soccer gear including cleats, shin-guards, and jerseys, and other sports items including long jump ropes and deflated basketballs, to take to the children at the Centre when they travel to South Africa October 21. Monetary donations are also welcome to help purchase gifts for the children. We ask that all items be new or gently used and cleaned. Please deliver your donations to any of the Church School classrooms on the second floor of the Parish House on Sundays or to the Parish House office during the week. The deadline for delivery is Sunday, October 11, but we would appreciate receiving donations earlier. For more information, contact Kaye Edwards in the Parish Office at kaye.edwards@stjohns-dc.org or at
