During this season that includes a pandemic, the Serendipity Sunday school class at Trinity United Methodist Church wanted to make local law enforcement personnel feel appreciated with gift bags including handwritten notes in Christmas cards.
The class put together gift bags for Reno County Sheriff s Department and the Hutchinson Police Department that include cards, blue-lined stress balls, and sweet and savory pre-packaged treats.
The members of the Serendipity Class decided they wanted to send gifts this year and encourage other members of the community to express their appreciation too. We felt it was important to show support for them. With the pandemic, it s even harder for them to stay safe, said Debra Esau, a member of the class.
