Next Faith-in-Action Meeting
Sun., January 22, 12:15 p.m. in the Martin House
Agenda includes planning for the REACH dinners, the FIA Fair in March, and ways to include our RE students in more FIA activities.
Reach Cold Weather Shelter Dinners
Tuesday, February 7 & Saturday, February 11
Our church is providing the evening meal at the Hagerstown Cold Weather Shelter twice in February. We’ll need people to prepare the food, serve the meal, and clean up afterwards. See Lou Murray after the service to sign up. We also need monetary contributions for the food costs. Give your donations, clearly marked “for REACH dinners”, to the church treasurer Bill Pfoutz.
Ongoing FIA Projects
Full ton food drive for the Food Resources Warehouse.
Especially needed are canned fruits, peanut butter and cereal. Leave non-perishables in the basket in the sanctuary foyer. If you’d like to contribute cash instead, one dollar is equivalent to four pounds.
CASA, the local women’s shelter.
See a complete list of CASA needs on the FIA bulletin board in the sanctuary foyer. Leave your donations in the CASA basket in the sanctuary foyer.
Completed FIA Projects
We are happy to report our largest delivery ever of cold weather gear to Winter Street Elementary School children: more than 35 hat, scarf and glove/mitten sets; 20 sets of hats and scarves or hats and gloves; and more than 40 individual hats, scarves and pairs of gloves. You are a generous group of people! Dodie and Howard Ruskie, Reverend Wills, Rachel Crawford Cliffe, Joanne Rose and Fanny Crawford sorted and boxed books for the fall AAUW book sale that raised money for college scholarships.
Faith-in-Action activities are open to everyone. For more information or to volunteer, contact Fanny Crawford.
