Books for Kids

Bring any new or used, Christian or non-Christian children's books and drop them in the bin in the narthex. These books are donated to kids at the San Jose shelters. We will need more books as it takes about 300 books to initially stock a shelter. As of August 2002 we have collected 5,032 books and we have distributed all of the children's Christian books and need more!

The kids at the shelters especially love Babysitters Club, Nancy Drew, Arthur and Boxcar Children books.
