SCHOOL SUPPLY COLLECTION In light of multiple calls we have had to the church requesting assistance with school supplies we are having a school supply drive. It can be tough for some to get the supplies needed to start school off right. We would love to bless those families that find themselves with this need! We are simply asking that when you are out and about, maybe purchasing school supplies for your own children, you could pick up a few extra and bring them to the church office or drop them in the box in the church en-trance. If you have questions please contact the church office. You can find supply lists at most local stores or on the school website: www.cambridge. k12.mn.us
