Donate New and Used Elementary Books | St. Timothy's Episcopal Church

My name is Josie Motsinger and I am a rising senior at DH Conley High School. I have been volunteering with our outreach program at Operation Sunshine and I also play guitar and mandolin in the worship ensemble. I have had a passion for reading since I was young, and I believe that everyone should have access to good books. Not only are books vital to a child's imagination, but books also help children grow their knowledge with every new book that they read. Because of this, I am starting an initiative that aims to foster the love of reading through easier access to books. To do this, I am collecting gently used, and new, elementary-level (kindergarten-5th grade) books to donate to public schools and organizations such as Elmhurst Elementary and Operation Sunshine. I plan to continue looking for more programs and classrooms that are in need, as well as more locations to collect donations. Any donations that could be made are greatly appreciated! Donation deadline is August 25th.

Giving is one of the most important spiritual practices we can develop. When we make a gift we bestow a since of value on the receiver, we recognize something of value within our own lives, and when times are lean, making a gift can be one of the only ways to free us from the fear of not having enough. It's simple math, if I have something that I can give away, be that 10 minutes of help or two dollars to share, that means I have been blessed with more than I need.

Ascribe the the Lord the honor due his name. Bring offerings and come into his courts. - From Psalm 96, verse 8

Pledging is an important part of your spiritual life because it is a way of saying, "I don't know what lies ahead, but I am putting God first and I have faith there will be enough for everything else." Pledging is also important to the church because it is the only way we can make a responsible budget and then fund our mission and ministries. If everyone participates, even small gifts can get us where we need to go. Can you make a gift of faith and help St. Timothy's by pledging?
