Lenten Service Project

Our Lenten Service Project begins Ash Wednesday! We are collecting personal care items each week throughout Lent for our neighbors at Shreveport Ridge Apartments and clothing for our community partner Dulles South Neighborhood Closet. Below is a full list of items. You may bring them in each week or feel free to donate all at one time. There will be a bin in the Narthex for all donations. Contact Deborah Taylor with questions.
