Outreach News

The Outreach Shoe Box Project (through the Feed the Children organization) has begun and a sign-up sheet has been put on the back table.  Make up a box yourself or sponsor a box @ $15 and a box will be made up for you. This year's projects are "Tiny Blessings" boxes for babies and toddlers up to 24 months. A sheet with project directions/list of types of items can also be found on the table.  Last day to sign up is April 12. Completed boxes due by April 19th

Thanks to all who contributed aluminum tabs for the Artificial Kidney Center.   They were greatly appreciated and will help to purchase food and blankets for the patients.

Please save your shoe boxes (those with a removable lid) for our upcoming Kids U.S.A. Shoe Box Project.  More information will be posted soon.  Thank you in advance.

Food Drive Update:

From 11/1/07-12/21/07, we collected $187.68 in change for the purchase of food for the food pantry and soup kitchen.  We also had a sale, coupon, and rebate savings of $115.33! That is a total of $303.01 worth of groceries if purchased at full retail price.

You do make a difference! Please continue to bring in your unwanted coupons or coupon fliers. Place them in the box provided on the table at the rear of the church or in the marked envelope in the Parish Hall lobby.   Please continue to place your loose pocket change in the receptacle. The change and coupons will be used to purchase items for the food bank and soup kitchen.

 

Please save your shoe boxes (those with a removable lid) for our upcoming Kids U.S.A. Shoe Box Project in April.

 

The Church of Our Saviour Food Bank is in need of volunteers to 
help in the food pantry.   If interested, please call the Church of Our Saviour at 508-678-9663 for further details.  The office is open Monday through Thursday 9:00am to noon.

Baskets are located in the church entry for soup kitchen and food pantry donations.

The Outreach Committee has purchased a book that is available for lending to members of the parish.  The name is The Prayer Shawl Ministry. It includes eight prayer shawl patterns to knit and crochet with beginner friendly instructions. 

If you know of a family or individual who would like our assistance or you would like help the outreach committee in some way please contact christchurch4@verizon.net.
