October is Stewardship Connection Month!
We are passing the pouch from home to home in October as we focus
on Living Generously. As you consider what you can pledge to
Highlands for 2020, we hope you can make an increase of 5% to 10%
to support all the programs and outreach.
Don’t forget to sign-up for our annual Upside Down Lunch on October
27 (when you get to eat dessert first!) See Sing-up sheets n the
Welcome Space or register on-line at www.hightlandsunited.org
SOCK AND PONCHO APPEAL FOR FIRST UNITED
There is an ongoing need for men’s and women’s socks and for
ponchos in the Downtown Eastside community.
First United Church offers a foot care program and
the clients receive a new pair of socks after each
treatment. As well, many needy and homeless
folks turn to First United daily for clean, dry socks
and for ponchos on rainy days.
Our Local Connections Committee is again asking for your support in
providing these needed items. Each year we have exceeded our
targeted 1000 pairs of socks. You can participate by donating socks -
men's and women's in any colour and/or light weight vinyl ponchos or by
donating money toward the purchase of these items. We will happily do
the purchasing.
Members of the Local Connections committee will be at the Action Table
each Sunday until Nov. 3rd to receive and record your donations (which
will be included for tax purposes with your annual statement).
Contribution cheques can be made out to Highlands United Church –
please note “Sock and Poncho Appeal” on the memo line.
