Outreach Committee Undie Drive
March 27, 2022
|
|
Hello Parish Families,
Mark your Calendars – On March 27th, 2022, the outreach Committee of St. Johns will be holding a “Undie Sundays 2022” drive run by the Undies Project.
The mission of The Undies Project is to provide new underwear to men, women, and children in need to improve their lives. Underwear is the most under-donated, yet most needed, item of clothing. No one should be deprived of the simple daily necessity of clean underwear that many of us take for granted. Hygiene and physical comfort are only a part of this basic human need. New, clean underwear also provides dignity and self-esteem.
Wishlist Items
NEW men's boxers and briefs
NEW women's panties
NEW girls and boy’s panties, boxers, and briefs
NEW Bras
ALL AGES AND SIZES
Boxes will be set up for collection in the main entrance and in the hallway outside the library.

The crisis in Ukraine and resources to support |
|
Dear Companions in Christ,
As the horrific and unjust Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, so do the inevitable repercussions of war. Over 400 civilian deaths have been reported in Ukraine. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, more than 2 million people have fled Ukraine in the days since the invasion began. This is not the way of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
We write to you today asking you to continue to join us in prayers for an urgent ceasefire and a withdrawal of Russian forces in Ukraine. Pray earnestly that this unwarranted act of aggression by Vladimir Putin will come to an end and that the people of Ukraine will be freed from death and destruction. The brave people of Ukraine need our support. We can, and must, avoid a World War III.
Many of you have been inquiring on additional ways we can demonstrate our support for the people of Ukraine. Below are a number of statements, prayers, and reflections from others within our church about this conflict, as well as resources and ways that we can support the Ukrainian people during this time of crisis.
Pray for the peace of Christ.
The Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas, Bishop Diocesan
The Rt. Rev. Laura J. Ahrens, Bishop Suffragan
