7 Parish Nurse Notes, June 2017, Sheree Clark, RN You Gave Freely you have received, freely give. These words Jesus shared with the twelve Apostles as he sent them out in the Gospel of Matthew 10:8b. For the month of May, we had a table in our narthex here at Northside Community Church that quickly became full of what we all as a congregation freely gave to the people who will be recipients at Friendship House of Hamtramck. We filled that table up with 15 Birthday Party s in A Bag, 12 jars of peanut butter and 12 jars of jelly. Families in need come to Friendship House in Hamtramck and will be able to take home a Party in A Bag which has a cake mix, frosting in a tub, paper plates, napkins, candles, and a birthday card so a person can celebrate with a birthday party! Families can also take home peanut butter and jelly to make lunches for children who usually get their lunch at school. In the summer while school is out, these children may have to miss out on lunch. Getting lunch supplies at Friendship House prevents hunger for many children over the summer months. Northside Community Church collected these food stuffs and party bags for the American Baptist Women s Ministries mission project at the 2017 Annual Conference this year. Northside Community Church gave the most Birthday Party s in a Bag collected by the 20 churches represented at the Conference this year. The generosity of this congregation continues to be amazing and inspiring. As your representative for the American Baptist Women s Ministries, I asked. You responded generously. You gave cheerfully. You gave lovingly. Blessings, Sheree Fellowship We now have a cookie box in the Anderson room which is replenished (and emptied ) periodically. If you would like to bring cookies or something special for fellowship time after worship on Sunday mornings you can make a deposit to the box in the Anderson room and/or sign up in the narthex to do refreshments. You may also still donate money to go for cookies if you would prefer.
