for Tsunami victims.

GIFT OF THE HEART�

HEALTH KITS

NEEDED

American Baptist News Service (Valley Forge, PA 1/6/04) -- The unprecedented needs stemming from the tsunami tragedy in Southeast Asia have caused American Baptist ecumenical partner Church World Service to issue an urgent request to help replenish its "Gift of the Heart" Health Kits. Recent hurricane activity in the Caribbean and Florida substantially decreased the CWS supply of the kits.

American Baptists are being urged to respond to this CWS appeal. The Lisa Simmons Circle will collect items for these kits as a LENT project during March which is to include one of each of the following: hand towel, wash cloth, soap bar, toothbrush, toothpaste (4-7 oz.), comb, metal nail file or nail clipper, and six band-aids. Items should be sealed in 1 gallon plastic bag w/zipper closure. A designated box will be placed outside the church office.
