Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

During September, Reach will be holding a sock and underwear drive to help our unhoused sisters and brothers at Shady Grove. Each month when we serve, we try to hand out new underwear and socks to our friends. To replenish our supplies, we need men’s and women’s underwear and socks in all sizes. Dark colored items are preferred. For those who would prefer not to shop, we have created the attached Amazon Wish List to make it easier. If you have any questions, please contact Cindy Lippert.
