Since Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth and He can't be here in person, we should give the gifts we bring for Him to one another.What would He want?
For us to care for the least of our brothers & sisters-- Matthew 25:34 to 46
The angels appeared to the shepherds, the poorest of the poor considered the dregs of society. He loved the poor, we are to do no less.
I, along with Bridgewater Life Teen at Saint Basil's Chapel are now having a DONATION DRIVE for MainSpring homeless shelter from now till Sunday January 4, just before the Feast of the Epiphany
I'll deliver blankets as I get a car load. Everything else will be given to MainSpring staff when they come to Saint Basil's on the 4th to educate teens about homelessness.
WISH LIST:
(used is okay as long as freshly laundered and in good repair)
