Month of October | Social Justice Plate Offering: Person Centered Housing Options Inc (PCHO)
Our October Social Justice Plate Offering is designated for Person Centered Housing Options Inc, a not-for-profit organization that adopts a housing-centered, person-centered approach, which holds that individuals who are homeless must first gain access to permanent, safe places to live before stabilizing their lifestyle, improving their health, addressing harmful behaviors, and finding and maintaining jobs. Please give what you can to support this worthy cause. For more information, visit pcho.org.
Upcoming Coffee Hours
The choir will be sponsoring coffee hour on October 18 and will bring special treats. And the 25th, the last Sunday of October, will be another potluck coffee hour and everyone is invited to bring a dish (and a list of ingredients). NOTE: We are clearing out the individual coffee mugs that have been stored in the cabinet in the Clara Barton Lounge. Please pick up your mug by Nov. 1 and take it home. Any mugs left by Nov. 8 are up for grabs!
