March Mission - Blessing Bags
Our mission project for March will be Blessing Bags. It has been some time since we last assembled bags for neighbors in need and those experiencing homelessness, and this ministry was deeply appreciated by our community.
We will be collecting small travel-sized items to fill gallon‑sized Ziplock bags (the bags themselves will be provided). Those who wish to help assemble the bags are welcome to stay after worship on Sunday, March 8.
Here are some suggested items that you might purchase:
Toothbrush Toothpaste
Deodorant Hand sanitizer
Comb Brush
Washcloth Bar soap
Razor Shaving cream
Hand towel Hard candies
Socks Packets of facial tissue
Packable rain poncho
Gift cards to McDonalds or
other fast-food restaurants
Many of these products can be purchased affordably at local dollar stores such as Dollar Tree. As we prepare for this mission, we are reminded of Jesus’ words:
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40
