As winter approaches, we are starkly reminded that our least fortunate neighbors are homeless all year long:
*Please put your name on the Sunday night Women's Shelter Dinner sign-up board in the foyer.
*Bring Socks, Toiletries & Food Bank contributions to the containers. (New white socks. Tube socks are best because they are a fit-all size.)
*Mark your calendar for the Thanksgiving Eve street chaplain's moving worship and ingathering service at 1st Presbyterian Church, San Rafael. (5th & E streets) 7 PM.
*If you haven't yet responded to the Social Justice Committee's homeless appeal letter please do so as soon as you are able.
*Tell your friends and neighbors to do their holiday shopping at
Joan Nelson's art fundraiser. Nov. 29-30. Funds will go toward establishing a
permanent shelter. Tax deductible. Credit cards OK.
