OPERATION NIGHTWATCH: The owner of the “Cheaper by the Day” store gave an enormous box of socks to provide new socks for many homeless people. Some socks were contributed by members of our congregation as well. A generous gift of $95 cash was also donated by our congregation. Some toiletries were taken from the donation box for them, too. Julie R and Margaret Stook everything to Operation Nightwatch. Julie said the lady who accepted the donations was amazed and very appreciative.
OPENING BLIND EYES: The “Opening Blind Eyes” Prison Ministry at the Monroe Prison will receive the $130 pre-school tithe, plus a $20 private donation, making a total gift of $150. Rev. “Rip” Van Winkle visits individually with men who want visits, and teaches Bible classes for interested inmates.
MIDDLE EAST PARTNERS: Kathy Giske from University Presbyterian Church oversees this ministry to provide spiritual help to Christians in Iran and in refugee camps in Greece and Germany. Kathy leads a group of Volunteers each year to help refugees strengthen their faith in Christ.
