Social Justice Education/Action Activities
|
Shelter volunteers Nov 24 were Joyce, Debbie and Roddi.
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.
*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.

----------------------------------------------------------
Cleaning out closets and drawers? Instead of
bringing bags of old clothes to church take your unwanted items to GoodWill in San Rafael (Third & Lincoln) and be sure to tell the attendant to earmark your receipt for Ritter House. Ritter House, in turn, will hand out vouchers to the homeless people who can then find the kind of clothing they need.
---------------------------------------------------------- Anyone interested in taking the Companionship Training referred to by Street Chaplain Rev. Gaffney in his Nov. 10 sermon should contact Joan Nelson - 415-453-6221 - figleafjoan@comcast.net
------------------------------------------------------------
Ever feel frustrated that you're not doing enough to make a difference in the world? Bring your concerns to the UUCM Social Justice Committee.
Next Committee meeting: Sun. December 8, Noon. (Clara Barton Room)
