Brethren Disaster Services has asked that we respond to victims of this week’s earthquake immediately with hygiene kits, even as longer term coordination of responses is being addressed. (More information will be forthcoming.)
We’d like to collect items over the next two weeks to create these kits, which will be assembled by our children during the children’s church time the next two Sundays. To contribute to the project, bring 3-5 of the following items on Jan. 17 or 24:
If your last name begins with:
A-F – hand towels (approximately 16″ x 28″ (no fingertip or bath towels) and washcloths
G-K – wide-tooth combs; bundles of bandaids (6 in a bundle); a box of gallon ziplock plastic bags
L-Q — nail clippers and bars of soap (bath size, in wrapper)
R-Z – toothbrushes (in original packaging)
Thank You!

Come out of the cold…
Learn to know some new people…
Share a meal around the table…
On the evening of the 24th, small groups of folks from both our congregation and Hyattsville Mennonite will be meeting for supper in homes around the D.C. region.
To sign up to host or be a guest, go to www.hyattsvillemennonite.org, and register your preferences by January 15. You’ll be assigned a group to host or to join for dinner, and can look forward to getting acquainted better with folks who value table fellowship!
