Erica's Clothing Closet     
The mission behind the Clothing Closet is to be able
to offer items to those in need who are not in a
position to buy things themselves. Erica has collected
all types of clothing. She has scarves, hats, gloves
and even things like baby blankets and bedding. She
has donated to folks at the SVDPP Soup Kitchen,
Bethsaida's Katie Blair house, the Madonna Place,
the St. Mark's Interfaith Luncheon attendees and
many other families that she has met through
Craigslist and FreeCycle.
Erica is always accepting donations of clean clothing
for the closet. Items can be dropped off at the church
anytime for her to sort and put away. Thanks.
Looking For Something
That Will Have Lasting
Significance?
Would you like to get involved in
Habitat for Humanity and make a difference in the life of a family here in
Southeastern Connecticut? Amanda Duntz is the volunteer coordinator for
Habitat, and she has arranged for us to host the mandatory safety class
(Foundations of Habitat Training and Orientation Class) here at church on
September 20th at 6:30 p.m. Once we take the class, then we can sign up and
work on any of the current builds in southeastern Connecticut. Talk to
Amanda or Pastor Lord if you want to know more.
Would you like to
become a mission
partner with Rick and
Mercy Barnes in Mexico?
We are looking for 12
families who will give a gift
of $50 to directly support
the ministry in Northern
Mexico. Your gift will help
Mercy and Rick continue the
great work they are doing.
Speak to the Pastor if you
want to accept the challenge
and take a month in the
coming year.
