| SERVICE MINISTRY INFORMATION
During January and February, the Service Ministry is asking for donations of boxes of tissues (any size, any kind) ; which we will distribute to teachers, Shalom House, and Christ Lutheran Church medical outreach program. It is a small but helpful step in the battle of the winter germs! Please put the tissues in the basket marked “Service Ministry.” Thanks When you add creativity to compassion, great things happen! Here are a few examples of what other congregations have done.
SHALOM HOUSE We are collecting cleaning products (any kind) for Shalom House, a safe haven for women and children during a time of crisis. Please bring the items to Sunday worship in bags marked, Shalom House. Members of the Service Ministry will pick up and deliver all bags to them. Thank you. Pocket Prayer Shawls The Service Ministry is working on Pocket Prayer Shawls. They are intended to be carried in the receiver’s pocket. While being knit, the knitter says a prayer. If you are able to contribute to this ministry, it would be greatly appreciated. Please place shawls in the Service Ministry box on Sundays at the East Hanover Township Building. Thank you. Single Cross Pocket Prayer Shawl (3” x 4” size)--Size 8 needles, worsted weight yarn Cast on 14

In everything, we give you thanks, O Lord. Phone Cards for Our Service Men & Women We are collecting monetary donations to purchase phone cards for our service men and women.
