Welcome Kit Drive: Evolving Needs
You may have seen the list, compiled by OLG Immigrant Ministry, with items needed to create Welcome Kits for Afghan Refugees. We learned this week that the larger community stepped up in a BIG WAY and the resettlement organizations no longer have storage space available! In response, we are changing directions for our Welcome Kit drive this upcoming Sunday, Oct 17. If you already purchased items from the list, feel free to drop them by the Walmesley Center between 9:30am-1:30pm and we will store them until the agencies can receive them. If you haven’t done your shopping yet, please consider buying gift cards to places like Safeway, Fred Meyer or Goodwill instead. If you prefer, you can give directly to the resettlement and relief organizations: Lutheran Immigrant and Refugee Services, Afghan Health Initiative, or World Relief. Our Immigrant Ministry has also compiled a list of ways you can get more involved. Thank you for your care and generosity!

Volunteers Needed for a Steering Committee
As. Fr. Kevin writes in this week’s Pastor’s Letter, we are in the process of hiring an architect to help us in the design and creation of the sacred space for our tabernacle and new place of prayer. The Steering Committee will provide input throughout the entire process. Time commitment will involve attending several meetings for the next 6-7 months. Contact Helen if interested.
Volunteers Needed To Help Organize Church Pews
This job entails restocking the pews along with putting the Breaking Bread and Spirit & Song books back into their proper order. Since we are only using every other pew right now, it is half the work!! It would be great to have two to three “teams” who can rotate each week. Great ministry for a family. Contact Helen 206-935-0358.
