Mission Moment
January 2023
  A note from Sheridan's Mission & Outreach Ministries
Tanzania Scholarship Project
Throughout January, we will be focusing on the Tanzania Scholarship Project. This project was created 14 years ago to help children in Tanzania with their educational needs.
While our Tanzania ministry originally began as an effort to provide help to those suffering from loss due to the AIDS pandemic, it has evolved and grown over the years.

Here are some quick facts:
  • In 2022, we supported 130 students.
  • Scholarships cost $475, but gifts of any amount are welcome.
  • $475 is approximately 2/3 of the actual cost; students' families pay the remaining portion.
  • Sponsors and students write letters to each other a few times a year.

A staffed table will be in the Great Hall this weekend, at which you can ask questions and learn more. Consider the many ways that you can join us in our Tanzania ministries, whether it be through financial giving, sponsorship commitments, or ongoing prayer.
Donation Bins: Now Collecting New Socks
The cold winter weather brings extra
needs to those who experience
homelessness. This month we are hosting
a Sock Drive to benefit guests of Matt
Talbot and Barnabas Community. Please
place donations of new socks in the
donation bins found near doors 1, 2 and 4.
Men's Outerwear Needs at Barnabas Community
Earlier this month, our friends at Barnabas Community shared that they are in need of men's outerwear, from hoodies to winter coats.

Donations can be dropped off at our outdoor collection bins by the garage nearest the 70th Street parking lot entrance or at the Free Store at 931 Saunders Ave. during store hours.
