OUTREACH MEETING

SUN APRIL 6

In preparation for St. Dunstan’s Easter Egg Hunt, we are asking congregants to bring in individually wrapped, small candies.

At the April 6 Outreach meeting, we will stuff the plastic eggs with the collected confections.

This year, St. Dunstan’s will also be collecting supplies to benefit the Falls Church-McLean Children’s Center (FCMLCC).

Halley Smith, the center’s director, will attend the April 6^th Outreach meeting to provide an overview and history of FCMLCC. At that time, St. Dunstan’s will present the collected supplies to the center. We have been asked to donate the following items for the center's literacy table:

stickers
post-it notes
note paper & envelopes

A basket for the candy and supplies will be at the back of the church. The donations will be accumulated through Sunday, April 6.

Thank you for your participation.
