HELPING EACH OTHER
We’re starting a request & provide list for our congregation. These items are meant for simple things you can use but maybe someone has extra. Examples: A medium size house planter for the Narthex to transplant the spider plant. A ½ a skein of black yarn for repairing a rug.
PLEASE, ONLY give items you may already have & no longer need. It is NOT intended for any NEW purchases. The list will be on the bulletin board. If you want an item, write it on the REQUEST list, along with your name. If you can fill that request, put your name on the PROVIDE list. Bring your item in and put it in the secretary’s office. There will be a box there for gathering items.
