PJ Pack Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston |
|
The Outreach Cluster is once again collecting pajama packs for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. The PJ Pack Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston provides a PJ Pack (pajama set, pair of underwear, and pair of socks). CHOA’s Social Work team distributes them to children & families throughout the hospital who encounter unexpected and lengthy stays and need an extra set of clothes. While all sizes are appreciated, the most urgent need is for larger teen/young adult sizes X and XL.
Ziplock bags with the instructions will be outside the Narthex, along with the blue collection bins in the drive-through and by the elevator, beginning December 12. They will be collecting the entire month of January. Last year they collected 111 PJ Packs. This year they hope to surpass that number.

Our Pastors & Lay Leader Suggest Using Masks |
|
Friends and Servants of Mt. Zion,
In light of the resurgence in the Covid situation, the pastors and other church leaders have decided to wear masks indoors at church routinely, except as necessary to conduct worship effectively, etc. We would encourage you to do the same in prudent care of our church and surrounding community.
Every individual will have to make a personal decision in this regard. However, we believe this is a reasonable measure, and our best option to do what we can to prevent ongoing spread of the virus while we continue to worship, fellowship, and serve together.
In Christ,
Harden Hopper & Tracy Wheelis
