    HEALTH KITS FOR HAITI

    As our thoughts turned inward toward prayer and reflection during this season of Lent, let us turn our hearts and hands toward our brothers and sisters in Haiti. This year's Global Mission Lenten collection will be supplies to fill health kits for the quake-stricken nation. Our goal is 150 kits. This is what we need from you:

    SIGN UP
    There's a sheet on the Haiti bulletin board. Each health kit includes:
    * 1 hand towel (15\224 x 25\224 up to 17\224 x 27\224). No kitchen towels.
    * 1 washcloth
    * 1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
    * 1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
    * 1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
    * 1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)
    * 6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
    * $1.00 to purchase toothpaste

    BRING DONATIONS IN
    We will accept contributions throughout Lent and Easter Sunday.

    PACK 'EM UP
    Sunday, April 11, we will pack the health kits in Fellowship Hall. Many hands make light work, so come help!

  • On January 31, 2010 Church of the Redeemer celebrated our 15 year anniversay of our decision to become a Reconciling Congregation and congregational member of the Reconciling Ministries Network, openly welcoming and affirming our GLBT brothers and sisters. All are welcome here. Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors.
