November Mission Opportunities

November 14, 2017

November/December Mission Baskets

The mission baskets in the side foyer and the Fellowship Hall collect donations to help two Durham Public Schools as they meet students’ needs: current new or barely used chapter books, non-fiction, or picture books, post it notes, dry erase markers, Ticonderoga #2 pencils, and white/colored copy paper (for teachers and classroom libraries at Merrick-Moore Elementary); hats, gloves, any size solid color t-shirts, deodorant, toothbrushes/paste, and other toiletries (for guidance department at Southern High School). Contact David Heist (david.heist@gmail.com) with questions.

November Minute for Mission

Michelle Old from the Diaper Bank of North Carolina will present the Minute for Mission on November 12. The mission of the Diaper Bank is to promote and protect the dignity of each resident by working with established family-support organizations to distribute diapers and hygiene products to low income families. Learn more about this work and ways to help at www.ncdiaperbank.org.

Katie Crowe, pastor of Trinity Avenue Presbyterian Church, will be our preacher this year. The service will be at St. John’s Missionary Baptist Church at 917 Onslow Street. Please bring a bag of non-perishable items or toiletries to donate to the WNM Food Bank which serves 90-100 families each month.
