FILL THE OUTREACH BASKETS
September: Crossroads
Community Ministries provides services to help people who are homeless find shelter and stability. In September we will fill the outreach baskets to support their work. Please bring donations of:
- 3-compartment takeout boxes
- socks, t-shirts,
- backpacks,
- books,
- shoes (especially men’s 10-12),
- dry goods (chips and snacks, pasta salad dressings, canned vegetables, etc)
If you’re in-person on Sundays, bring your donations with you and place them in the baskets in the Narthex. If not, you can drop off your donations during business hours (8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.) at the door by the Reception Area (there is a basket waiting!) and when you return to your car, please call Valerie at the desk and she’ll come retrieve your gifts. You can reach Valerie at 404-873-7600.

Good Samaritan Care Team
The Good Samaritan Care Team is a lay-led pastoral care team of volunteers who provide needed practical services to fellow parishioners on a short-term basis. Services may include transportation to a doctor or grocery store, meal preparation and/or delivery during an illness or other difficult time, light housework after a surgery, or other services deemed appropriate by the care team. Good Samaritan volunteers make a significant difference at a time when parishioners face serious challenges. If you or a fellow parishioner you know is in need of some assistance, Good Samaritans want to help.
Many of our Good Samaritans have expressed gratitude not only for the opportunity to be of service but most especially for the opportunity to form a deeper connection with the parishioners they serve. To serve on the Good Samaritan Care Team or to request services, contact the Rev. Horace Griffin (404-873-7609) or Jeanne Daniels (404-895-5959).
