WOMEN’S CLUB EVENTS / NEWS

Women’s Club is sponsoring a pill bottle collection. Bottles will be contributed to a ministry (Matthew 25: Ministries) that accepts donations of clean, empty, recapped, label and residue-free pill bottles for inclusion in shipments of medical supplies. The pill bottle program fulfills the dual needs of improving medical care in developing countries (like Africa, where bottles are needed to protect medications from the elements) and caring for our environment.

Acceptable donations include Prescription and Over-the-counter pill bottles, large and small, and can be child-resistant or not. To prepare bottles, all labels must be removed, leaving no glue or residue; bottles must be washed in very hot water and dish soap; rinse and dry thoroughly, and replace lids. Bring in a plastic bag to the church and the bottles will be placed in a collection spot.

Orphan Grain Train’s Kits

Our Spring Hygiene Kit for Orphan Grain Train was a great success. On April 10, 9 ladies gathered to assemble 63 kits. We are thankful for the generous donations of members and Thrivent so that the goal was achieved.

Mid-summer will once again be the time for collection of school supplies for the Teacher and School Kits. More details on this will be announced as the time approaches.

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 in the Fellowship Hall from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.

The next event will be held Sunday, April 12, 2-5 p.m. Stay tuned for the details.

If you would like to assist this group with the planned activities - help with table set up, food servicing or just to support the group, contact the church office.
