World Homeless Day brings individuals together to find ways to change the lives of homeless people in our community. Please join us on Friday, 6 October 2023 for a Prayer Service in church at 6:00pm.

After the service, all are invited to the cafeteria to help us package SNACK BAGS for those less fortunate. Donations of fruit bars, pop tarts, small juice boxes etc. are needed. These items will be delivered to those experiencing homelessness. Many Homeless Shelters need warm blankets. If you can knit or sew that would be an extra loving gift.

If you are not able to attend this event, please consider dropping off your donation at the Parish Center during normal business hours or bring your donation to the Fall Festival & drop it off at the Welcome Tent).

HELP US TO BRING JOY TO THOSE WHO HAVE SO LITTLE!
