Sunday School Mission Project Final Report: Fall offerings…..we collected $585.59 + mitten/scarfs/hats for needy people in the Ames area.We calculated that our children’s efforts resulted in the purchase or donation of more than 150 winter weather items! This Spring our Sunday School children directed their offerings to Camp Okoboji for the purchase of recreational items. They donated $474.54 since Christmas. The Camp needs a kayak so our hope is that we have raised enough to support this effort! Thank you St. Paul parents and children for helping to support this important Iowa District West mission!
