Galilee’s urban partner, St. Paul’s in Milwaukee, is collecting books “for all ages” to distribute to their neighbors and friends at Kim’s Table in May. Galilee is supporting the ministry by collecting books through the month of April. Some suggestions for books: Easy reading novels, history, mystery or chapter books, children’s books and Picture/Coffee table books. There is a collection spot for your donation of new or gently used books in the Narthex, under the map. Please contact Partnerships & Global Gifting Coordinator Deb Kohler with questions.
