Outreach Commission Winter Happenings 

Habitat for Humanity Christmas Wreath – Thank you for your support in providing gifts to families who have attained housing through Habitat for Humanity!  Your generosity provided 5 families, 23 individuals, with about 56 beautifully wrapped gifts, cookies and food.  In addition a parishioner gave a gift card so that many toys could be purchased at Toys R Us and given to many additional Habitat families for their children.  Once all the tags were taken we added tags for gift cards so Maria could help those that come to our door looking for assistance this time of year.

Bethlehem Homeless Shelter Program – We have the opportunity to serve at two of the Bethlehem churches that house the homeless during the winter months.  We will prepare, serve and clean up at St. Andrews on Friday night March 2nd, and we will do the same for breakfast at College Hill Moravian Church on a Saturday morning, date to be announced.  This is not only an opportunity to help the homeless but an opportunity to take the pressure off the parishioners of the churches who do this all winter long.  Watch the bulletin for further details.
