The Outreach Committee has a collection container on the desk in the Narthex!! They are collecting all plastic caps from water bottles, soda bottles, etc. These caps will be delivered to a patient of Ray Gronlund’s that will recycle for a cause. Please remember to recycle the caps—not just for charity, but for the environment!! “Tabs with a Purpose” – the Outreach Committee is collecting “tabs” from the top of soup, canned goods, beverage cans, and cat food for the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh.
