We join together this month to collect teddy bears for first responders to give to children in crisis. Bring the bears to church, where they can sit among us in the chairs and be brought up for a blessing at communion time before they are given to the first responders. This project is in loving memory of Shiela Mugaas’ cousin Martha and her grandchildren.
You are also welcome to bring warm things: hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, etc., which will mostly be offered at the public library for those who seek warmth there on cold winter days. Thanks to Kathryn Spilman, who takes them there. Larger warm items and boots are also welcome and will be taken to Closet 701. Thank you all for your generosity.
