During Lent we continue our work for those who are enslaved and oppressed. Building on Plymouth's past to help those who are in need today, we bring God's shalom to those in our community. Our
Lenten Service Project
is not about giving things up, but taking things on that matter in the lives of people.
We are answering a specific ask from
Sanctuary For Families' Anti-Trafficking Initiative by creating supply-filled tote bags for women and mothers receiving services at Sanctuary for Families' offices. “Peace Packs” will be given to the clients served by Sanctuary for Families, all of whom are victims of domestic violence, trafficking, or other forms of gender based violence. The toiletries, socks, and underwear would lessen the financial burden of these necessities while allowing the women and children to feel cared for and supported.
Join us at Coffee Hour through Lent and write notes of encouragement that will be included in each pack. Let these amazing women know that we are praying for them.
