The Outreach Committee is collecting mittens for Elementary School Children for the month of September. They may be knitted, crocheted, sewn or store purchased. Thank you for helping keep hands warm this coming winter season!!
God’s Work, Our Hands Day/Week!!! Today is the ELCA’s official national day of service. Congregations throughout the country will be cleaning up parks, visiting nursing homes, honoring fire fighters and other first responders, volunteering at soup kitchens, helping community members in need and various other service activities. Here at New Life, we are helping to provide shoes for local elementary schools, and encouraging all of you to do something extra for someone this week. Pay the toll for the person behind you at the Mackinac Bridge, take a casserole to a neighbor, put a can of tuna in the food pantry, take a friend to a movie, etc. Let us know what you did and what the response was.
The Outreach Committee thanks you for your continued donations to the Little Free Food Pantry and Library. Please feel free to continue to place donations in the pantry or on the kitchen.
Name Tags: Please remember to wear your name tags. Many of us have a harder time remembering names than we used to! If you are in need of a name tag, please leave that information on the Church Secretary’s Desk.
