ANNUAL GATHERING MISSION PROJECT
A Joint Project of Annual Gathering and Pilgrim Pines Camp
Remember our excitement and joy during last year's Annual Gathering when those many, many school kits were brought into the room? Our Mission Project this year will be items for Church World Service Hygiene Kits.
Church World Service says: In the face of natural disasters, violence, or grinding poverty, Hygiene Kits can mean the difference between sickness and health for struggling families.
To assemble a Hygiene Kit you will need:
- One hand towel measuring approximately 16" x 28" (no fingertip or bath towels)
- One washcloth
- One wide-tooth comb
- One nail clipper
- One bar of soap (bath size in wrapper)
- One toothbrush (in original packaging)
- Six standard size Band-Aids®

This year's Annual Gathering participants are being asked to bring the ITEMS for hygiene kits to Annual Gathering---yes, the loose items! Watch the sales and gather up bunches of the following items and bring them to the Pilgrim Pines display at Annual Gathering. Then they will be taken to Pilgrim Pines to be sorted and assembled into the bags for kits by the campers. They will fill in missing item needs with one of our worship offerings.
In addition, our offering at Opening Worship will be dedicated to this project and used to "fill in the gaps" and pay for shipping.
