Blessing Bags – All of October
During Teen Nights from September through December, our youth will have a special teacher: Trace Rudolph, Chaplain from Halifax Urban Ministries. We will be looking closely at how Jesus calls us to help and partner with the unhoused community. As part of this study, the youth will be creating Blessing Bags to deliver to our unhoused community in December. We need to create 150 bags, and we need your help! As part of our Helping Hands Month, we will be collecting the items to fill our Blessing Bags. If you would like to help, check out the items needed below and donate! A collection box will be set up in the Narthex throughout October for you to drop off items before worship. Questions can be directed to Amanda Wilson-Stovall.
