Yarn Ministry still needs the congregation’s assistance
Thank you for all donations that have already come in. We are still collecting some winter clothing articles for the PADS Ministry. Donations of hand or machine made (store bought) scarves, hats, gloves, and mittens for men, women and children are welcome. Coats are particularly needed. Donated items, if not new, should be clean and only gently used. Collections bins are located in the undercroft and at the office entrance. There is a PADS collection bin located in the undercroft, as well. Deposit items in any of the containers. The next collection date is January 31.
