Remember those care packages stuffed with sugar cookies from Grandma, socks from Mom and a $10 bill from Dad?  E-mail has replaced the old ways of keeping connected.  But today's students on Mennonite campuses still need to know that folks back home care in ways that transcend cyberspace communications.

 

Care packages still work!  There's nothing like getting a huge box of granola bars and chocolate from your folks or your home congregation.  Or students often receive monthly postcards or bulletins from their home congregations.  Students may not verbalize it, but these small gestures become huge reminders that people are thinking of them and caring about them.
