WHAT
IS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY?
Habitat
For Humanity is an
international, ecumenical Christian, non-governmental, non-profit
organization devoted to building “simple, decent, and affordable”
housing. Homes are built using
volunteer labor and are sold at no profit.
WHAT
IS A POUNDING?
A pounding is a custom dating back to Quaker founding days.
When a couple moved into the neighborhood, a welcome wagon type or
get together would be called where all the neighbors would bring a pound
of sugar, flour, or whatever, to help stock up the new neighbors cupboard.
This is an old-fashioned way to help someone by stocking their
pantry with non-perishable items.
You
can give something you have extra. For
instance, if you have 3 cans of green beans, you could give 1 can!!!
Paper products and light bulbs are always welcomed.
The
Episcopal Church Women are sponsoring a pounding for Habitat for
Humanity. Ingathering will
begin on Sunday, January 31, and will end on Sunday, February 14.
Items may be placed in the designated bags and boxes in the narthex
of the church and in the parish house.
Perhaps, you wish to bring your items on February 7th,
Potluck Sunday.
The
collected items will be divided between the two homes that were dedicated
near Christmas time. You might
recall, they are built one beside the other, and the Faithworks House was
named House of Ruth. This is
the first home named after a women of the Bible.
Won’t you join the ECW in the age-old custom of welcoming?
***********************
Worship Volunteers
By now everyone who has been identified as being interested in taking part
in our worship at St. Francis should have received a list of every who is
signed up to do the same job. If you signed up to usher, you should
have a list of ushers. If you signed up to read, you should have a
list of readers. These lists were sent by email to everyone we have
an email address for and send regular mail to those without email
addresses. If you wanted to be usher, greeter, reader, presenter of
the elements, Chalicist and you did not get a list, please contact the
Parish Office and let the Parish Administrator know that you did not get a
particular list. We will make sure that you are on the list for that
job and then get a list to you.
