Greetings from Outreach,
Our April Basket of Hope is gathering needed items to hand out to our neighbors experiencing homelessness. We are making progress collecting the items needed, but there is still a way to go. Our goal is to assemble 100 Blessing Bags, that church members can take with them to hand out when they meet someone in need. We will be stuffing the bags after church on May 5, but ask that you bring your items no later than April 28.
Please prayerfully consider how you can help this Ministry to help our neighbors. Gather your hotel provided shampoo, conditioner, lotion and soap. Head to the store, or shop online with a special wish list created for this project.
Here is the Amazon Wish List Link:
