Our giving for September is to the Newtown/Sandy Hook Faith Food Pantry. Cash donations may be placed in the offering plate in an envelope labeled Faith Food Pantry or nonperishable food items may be dropped off in the collection box in the center hallway here at church.
Dorothy Day House
As the days grow shorter and the nights cooler, we’re preparing to commence our sixth year of participation in the “Evening Out of the Cold” program sponsored by the Dorothy Day Hospitality House in Danbury. Welcoming homeless people, this program provides soup, hot drinks, and other light food fare, in addition to allowing the guests a place to get in from the cold for a few hours before the homeless shelters open at 9:00. Beginning the first week in November and lasting through the winter months, our teams of volunteers will be hosting Friday evenings once again. This year we are again challenged, because several of our past volunteers are unable to participate in the program this time around.
Please sign up on the sheet located on the center hallway bulletin board to let us know you can help out so we can begin to put teams together.
