Mission Trip in Our Own Backyard - August 29 |
|
We will be meeting at St. Paul's at 7:30 a.m. for a 7:45 a.m. depature.
Shovels and Wheelbarrows are especially needed by the workers. If you can't go, but could loan yours, drop them off at church.
Those coming need to wear boots and long pants and bring with you, cloth gloves, either rubber or latex gloves, a shovel and bucket and clean clothes to wear home.
High school youth are welcome to come, but they must have two copies of the signed permission form on the Diocesan websiteIt would be helpful to have an idea of how many people are coming. If you think you are able to help e-mail pastor Vicki at paulsrector@gmail.com (or just click reply to this one :))
We are also still collecting funds to assist the three churches hit by the flooding. Make your check payable to St. Paul's and marked diaster relief or put loose cash in the offering plate on Sunday.
There is also a special need for diapers and baby wipes, just bring them to church and we'll get them down there. |
