C.C.S.C.'s "Back to School" Drive
Mark your calendars - July is the month for Christian Community Service Center's "Back to School" Drive! Thousands of children in greater Houston will begin the 2009-2010 academic year without the basic school supplies needed to succeed. You can help these students through CCSC's "Back to School" program!
Your $45 donation will provide one child with a new school uniform, shoes, and a grade-level appropriate package of new school supplies. To donate, you can enclose your cash or check in the "Clothes for Kids" envelopes located in the pew racks during July and place it in the offering. Or, send a check to St. Martin's Episcopal Church made payable to St. Martin's with the notation at the bottom, "CCSC BTS." Help a child to arrive at school on the first day of class feeling well prepared and ready to learn! |

The Hope Cookbook Benefits St. Vincent's House in Galveston
The 313-page cookbook containing 537 recipes has been published to raise funds for St. Vincent's House in Galveston. The friends and families of St. Christopher Episcopal Church in League City sent in the recipes. There are some celebrity submissions as well, including recipes from Barbara Bush, Susan Baker, Ruth Ryan, Maria Pappas, Kathy Cooper of Cooper Farms, and Anna Ginsberg (Pillsbury Bake-Off Winner). The cookbook is beautifully illustrated with original photography taken by local high school photojournalism student Kerri Tenet of League City. The books sell for $20 each plus $5 for shipping and handling and all proceeds will go to St. Vincent's House. The cover art is an excerpt from the primitive style mural surrounding the clinic door and depicts a dove holding an olive branch in its beak flying above a rainbow. That image was chosen in the early summer of 2008, pre-hurricane season, and is even more appropriate post Hurricane Ike.
To order a copy, send a check in the amount of $25 to St. Christopher Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 852, League City, TX, 77574, or call Ally Hardick at 832/277-0765. |
