COMMUNITY FREE CLINIC OF WASHINGTON COUNTY

 

The Community Free Clinic of Washington County is collecting "used shoes" to be refurbished to send to countries where people have no shoes. Bruce Brooks, our lay delegate and employee representative of the Free Clinic, has put a container in our social hall to collect shoes. For each pair of shoes collected to be refurbished the Clinic also receives 40 cents as a fundraiser project for the Clinic. If you have any used shoes that need another home please bring them into the church and place in the Clinic's shoe container. This fundraiser runs until July 18. Thank you.

Until next month...

Thank you New Light MCCers for the gifts and talents you bring to our church body so that we might take the message of God's love into our community, our country, and our world!

 

Religion is a compass, not a harness, let your heart explore.  You have the freedom to break the chains of religion that might have held you captive so you can find the YOU that God intended you to be!
