There are a couple of outreach opportunities during convention!

Caring for the needs of youth in Montana is an important ministry for Christ Church. We are seeking to make donations to the Heart Locker, a program with the Kalispell schools that provides for children and teens. Some supplies that are much needed: all sizes and styles of adult underwear, men’s and women’s, socks and bras as well. They also need various hygiene products such as: deodorant, dry shampoo, and baby wipes. Pads and tampons in all sizes are a great need.

For every item you add to the basket you can take a raffle ticket. During the Camp Marshall report we will draw a winner for some Camp swag. Some of the 2025 Grace Campers were able to attend amp because of connections with the Heart Locker. Thank you for all the work you do to make children and youth feel loved, safe, and welcome at Camp and in the Episcopal Church.”
