Random Act of Kindness
Volunteers Needed: Please consider signing up to help others in the congregation by doing an act of kindness in a time of need. Random Act of Kindness might include helping with a meal when a parishioner comes home from the hospital or just needs some extra help. It may be giving a ride to someone who has no transportation or is unable to drive. It could be baking and serving at a funeral reception in the church. We have an old list of volunteers and want to update this file. Sign-up on the bulletin board for one or more of these kinds acts. We will try not to call more than every other month and you can say “No” if it doesn’t suit when you are called.
Christian Education Mission Project
Vacation Bible School kicked-off our new mission project. For the year 2009-2010, we will be supporting Church World Service's Blankets program. When disaster strikes, blankets are often needed, blankets and much more: tents, food, emergency supplies. Blankets program provides blankets and many other of these desperately needed resources. Blankets are available in both winter (grey) and summer (orange) weights. If you are curious, we have a sample of each. The cost of a blanket is only $5. Please help us help CWS respond to those in need with the warmth of God's love with a blanket.
Mission Trip
Fourteen volunteers from seven different churches in the East Ohio Conference traveled to the Midwest Mission Distribution Center in Chatham, IL. Tina and MaryAnn were part of the team. During the week the mission team put school, health kits and flood buckets together. There were some who sewed diapers and school book bags, too. Working, eating and sleeping were done in air conditioned and comfortable surroundings. This is one mission trip that even people with physical limitations can participate. Since this is a popular mission, the weeks for 2010 are all filled. The next East Ohio Conference trip will be in April, 2011. Tina and MaryAnn are looking forward to sharing pictures and experiences with the congregation.
Thank you for supporting us with your prayers and for supporting the Center with 62 pounds of donations! Your generous donations have blessed many lives
