The chaplain’s office will host the Back to School Giveaway at the McCutcheon Chapel on Marine Corps Air Station New River July 31.
Those with access to the air station can attend the Protestant service with a message on education and then gather at the Fellowship Hall for communion, food and basic school supplies such as pencils, pens, glue and paper.
"MCAS’s McCutcheon Memorial Chapel and its congregates understand that school is important to and for every student," said Jen Metallo, air station Protestant director of religious education. "School supplies are necessary and help (students) to attain the best level of achievement in an academic setting, but they are also expensive. By sharing just a small amount of the needed school supplies, we hope to help ease that burden. We also hope to encourage them in knowing that we are praying for their student no matter where they attend school."
During the church service, children’s church will have a puppet show. After the service, in the Fellowship Hall there will be food with the school supply giveaway line.
"Please enjoy the rest of our summer here in Eastern North Carolina," said Metallo. "Be safe and blessed and know that McCutcheon Memorial Chapel congregants are thinking and praying for an excellent school year."
