Connections Ministry
In our church bulletin last Sunday and on the shelter web site / FB page we promoted a fund raiser that was to have taken place this coming Saturday Oct. 23rd to raise money for the shelter. Unfortunately that event is cancelled due to limited response.
The shelter however has not cancelled their growing need for funds to keep things going. Already in week two of the season the shelter was at near capacity. There are a number of ways that you can continue to support this mission:
1) Go to the website www.connectionsshelter.org for links to donate funds directly to the shelter or to connect to their Amazon wish list.
2) Mark your calendar for the week of January 24th 2022 - that is the next week our St Johns team will be hosting
3) If you would like to volunteer or bring food on weeks other than those designated for St Johns check the signup sheet
For food and to volunteer as an evening meal server go to:
For morning volunteer go to:
4) Follow Connections Shelter on Face Book for regular updates
5) Please keep Connections in your prayers.
Thank you for all you do. It makes all the difference. Audrey and Pat
