O God, who sent your Son Jesus Christ
to be the Savior of humankind:
teach us to know our sins
and to turn from them;
show us what is our duty
and help us to do it;
and so lead us by your Holy Spirit
that we may walk in the way of your will;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Ms. Nancy Holland, director of ECC, requests that each church donate $125 or 25 pairs of new shoes for men, sizes 8-15, or women, sizes 5-12. New hiking boots, sandals, work boots or sneakers are welcome.
"By providing this kind of service, homeless people are blessed, and will feel that they are not invisible, but loved," said Holland. "It will also raise awareness about the issue of homelessness, which is everyone's problem. And it will connect those in need with services to move them into healthier, more productive states."
