WOMEN’S CLUB
This Lenten Season, Women’s Club is hoping to assemble 50 Hygiene kits for Orphan Grain Train (OGT) with the donations of needed items from the congregation, Women’s Club members, and also those purchased using money from Thrivent for this project.
We participate in assembling these kits because OGT helps others in need, not only through the distribution of kits, but through the donations of meals, clothing, school supplies, medical supplies, catechisms, etc. We are sharing God’s love with people living in despair. Hygiene Kits are essential for cleanliness and health.
Kit items are the following:
Bath Towels—dark in color (best prices on these are at local discount stores)
Wash Cloths—preferably in the same color as the towel
Soap—bath-size bar (not hotel size)
Toothbrushes
Combs—large, sturdy size (no pocket combs please)
Nail Clippers
(No Band-aids needed this year)
Tentative assembly date for the kits will be in early May.
Special Needs Social Group
As young adults transition from high school classes through the Special Ed programs and sponsored work assignments, they lose touch with peers, and in some cases become isolated in our busy world. We are serving these individuals in our community, ages 18-35, with a safe place to meet once a month (second Sunday of each month) to reconnect with peers, and hopefully, make new friends. This group meets the second Sunday of each month at 2:00 p.m.
