The Jr/Sr High Youth Group is continuing to collect redeemable bottles and cans as a fund raising effort in support of Compassion International. The Youth Group members made a commitment to give financial and prayer support to Ovianni, a young girl from the Dominican Republic. Compassion International provides resources for Ovianni ‘s clothing, food and education. Recently we redeemed over 6,600 bottles and cans, which raised over $330.00. We are grateful to everyone who has supported this effort by donating bottles and cans. Anyone who would like to donate bottles and cans to this ongoing project may simply bring them to BRC on a Sunday morning. Donations can be left in the narthex or given to a youth group member who will gladly move them to our storage area in the basement. Or, if you have too many bottles and cans to bring to BRC, please let us know. We will make arrangements to pick them up at your home. |
