Soles 4 Souls The Caldwell Burleson County Lions Club is having a shoe collection for Soles 4 Souls. Instead of throwing out your gently used shoes that you do not wear anymore, please consider donating them. By donating your shoes, you can give someone a life-changing opportunity. The goal is to try to collect 1,000 pairs of shoes. All styles, types and sizes will be accepted, as long as they are gently worn. The shoe drive is August 1st through August 31st, 2020. The drop off location is at the Caldwell Civic Center. Mother’s Day Out Program Enrollment is now under way for the Mother’s Day Out Program at First Baptist in Caldwell. The program is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-4 p.m. For more information, contact Martha Martinez at 979-229-6462. Spiritual Communion “Jesus, truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament, I love You above all things and I desire to possess You within my soul. Since I am unable at this moment to receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as being already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.” -St. Alphonsus Ligouri

We ask the Lord to continue to surround all students in his loving embrace as they begin this school year.
