Requests for Items
St. Mark's Church, Frankford
is looking for Donations of Both Hard Backed and Soft Covered Books of Common Prayer (new or used). We are working hand in hand with a number of Recovery Houses in our area, and we have been giving new members and those newly accepted into local recovery houses these books - and they are graciously accepted and used on a daily basis. This is becoming a financially unsustainable action, however, and we sure could use some help. If you have Books of Common Prayer that you can donate, please call St. Mark's, Frankford at 215-535-0635 or email the secretary at
imaeormaeknot@gmail.com
. We can make arrangements for pick up.
