Hope Chest Shower Ministry Needs... If you didn't know, the Hope Chest now offers the ability for our guests to shower when they come. This has been an awesome ministry to the homeless guests who come each Tuesday. This ministry has been a huge blessing to those who utilize it. The ministry needs the following help: men and women volunteers for Tuesday mornings as shower attendants, men's and women's underwear and tee/under shirts in a variety of sizes ranging from Medium to XXL, and launderers to wash soiled linens & sometimes clothes. If you are able to help with any of these things, please contact Pam Deblasio at the Church Office.
Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic... Barb Paugh is leading a trip to the Dominican Republic this September. There will be an informational meeting on April 22 at 7:00 PM in the Coffee House.
