Back to School Packs


  • Good Shepherd Church 4700 Vance Avenue Fort Wayne United States (map)

Our youth & children's ministries will create back to school gift packs!!! This pack will include a face mask, water bottle, hand sanitizer, pencils, erasers, granola bars, and candy. We are going to hand deliver these to all our students grades K-12. This is 120+ students! We will pack them on Aug 5th and deliver them on Aug. 6th.

So what GSC needs from the congregation…

1)     Prayer – Every day, starting TODAY at 1pm, GSC will be in prayer. This is an open invitation to anyone who would like to gather by Door 1 at 1pm daily to pray for our students, teachers, schools, etc. Zac Schwartz will be at this door Tuesday- Thursdays, but you are welcome to come any day of the week at 1pm to pray. Masks required starting Monday.

2)     Money – if you would like to contribute financially to this project, please give checks written to Good Shepherd Church to Zac Schwartz. You may also give Walmart scrip cards to help purchase supplies.

3)     Cards – we would love to put a hand written card in each gift pack. If you would like to write a card, or several, to a student and give them a word of encouragement, please do. Get them to church by Aug. 4th. They may be placed in the mail box of Zac Schwartz. (Please do not place them in a sealed envelope)

4)     Help – if you can join us on August 5th at 1pm for prayer and then to stuff packs, please come! Also if you would like to drive around town to deliver these packs, please join us on August 6th at 1pm for prayer and then get your list of deliveries! 

If you are interested in helping in any of these ways, please let us know that you plan to help! Email zschwartz@fwgoodshepherd.org
