Mission and Outreach Board
Grand Valley Catholic Outreach is about two months away
from opening 23 brand new apartments for local low-income area residents.
Sister Karen Bland (Director of Catholic Outreach) wants to furnish these
apartments with items that are new. Each apartment is for one person and
accordingly will have a single twin bed.
Items Sister Karen would like donated to furnish units are as follows:
I . Towel set including bath towel, wash cloth, hand towel and bath mat to
match
2. Twin bed sheet set with pillow case
3. Set of cookware
4. Set of dishes for 4
5. Set of glasses for 4
6. Flatware set of 4 or 8
7. Mop bucket with mop and cleaning supplies in bucket
Your First Congregational Mission and Outreach board is asking church
members to support this effort by choosing items from the above list to
purchase from local merchants and leave them in the Gathering Space,
and/or leave a cash donation with Michelle which M & 0 can then use to
purchase some of these items.
Our goal is not to furnish all the units. Other groups will be joining in
this effort.

Church GROWTH BOARD
This is one of the most important boards in our church and
we desperately need your help. We need people who will welcome our
visitors on Sunday. We also need people to serve on our board next year.
This is a very important part of our church, and we would like some new
thoughts and input for the growth and forward-thinking of our church.
Call Irene Phillips
(#434-7284) and tell her you want to serve. This has been a somewhat
difficult time and we would appreciate your help.
