Words for Thought

Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. St Francis of Assisi 

YOUTH MISSION TRIP 2017
What is The Youth Mission Trip 2017?
It’s a great opportunity that begins June 17, when 8 Plymouth youth and 4 adults set up base in Philadelphia for a week of service.

Through Broad Street Ministry, they will engage in hands-on service with organizations tackling social justice issues (food, housing, mental illness, incarceration, etc.) and their impact on diverse communities. 

When the youth return, we will hear about their experiences and what they learned. WATCH FOR THE MISSION TRIP 2017 UPDATE. 
School Uniforms for Chapman Center

This project is big and requires some lead time to accomplish. So, while school starts on August 21, we are sharing our news now.

The Chapman Centers for the Homeless will have many children going to school in August.

 Barnes Circle's tradition is to provide new uniforms, including socks and underwear, for these kids.  

We hope to provide two sets per child (one to wear, one to wash.) 

We need your support for this project as we can anticipate 200+ kids will be living at the shelters in August.  Each outfit costs approximately $65 (the uniform store gives us a great deal and packages and labels the uniforms). 

In the meantime, please send $$$

(checks to Plymouth Church with Barnes Circle in the memo line.) 

Ask your friends to help too!   

NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG!    THANK YOU!
