As we explore the impact of these challenges and examine faith-based strategies for resilience and healing, we trust that God will guide us through these difficult times.
CLOTHES FOR THE SHELTER" Thank you to all that donated clothing for the shelter. While warm weather clothing is always accepted, they will gladly take almost any clothing item. Used t-shirts, shorts, gently used socks, pants--if you will donate it, they will take it. They especially appreciate new underwear (no used underwear). Right now, the men's clothing is almost gone. I often give out clothing before I even get to the donation room. So, if you have almost anything to give, please bring it to church and I will take it. Thank you for your donations. They are greatly appreciated. If you have something you would like to donate see Cameron Loss at the College Church.
