The August noisy offering will be going to the School Supply Closet at Trinity U.M. Church in Sterling. They are in their seventh year of providing free school supplies for students in Whiteside County. The closet was created to help ease the burden for teachers, who often pay for such supplies out of their own pockets. The School Supply Closet helped 800 students its first year; last year, it served more than 1,300. Thanks in advance for giving generously!
