- We are still collecting all kinds of batteries and printer or ink cartridges to recycle at Staples. To date we have raised over $250 toward Staples purchases. I have small boxes at the front and ramp doors for your “contributions.” Or you can put bags of batteries and ink cartridges outside of my office. Thanks! Keep them coming. You are an awesome support of this interesting way to recycle and get credit at Staples for future purchases.
As always, we hold in prayer many of our members and friends who are walking through difficult seasons—facing grief, illness, loneliness, changes in living situations, and other challenges that weigh heavily on the heart. We also remember our brothers and sisters around the world who continue to recover from the devastation of war, oppression, and natural disasters.
At the same time, we give thanks for the many joys among us—birthdays and anniversaries, the gift of new life, healing and remission from illness, and countless other blessings that remind us of God’s goodness.
Peace to all,
Lori Esslinger
