HAPPY MOTHERS DAY:
Each year the Worship Committee likes to honor women in some way by choosing a deserving non-profit organization to whom to give a gift of money to support their efforts. Again, this years choice is, Reaching Up and Reaching Out is a Mercer County ministry supporting those on the journey from jail to a new life in Christ. Last year a house was purchased with funds raised through fundraisers and gifts received. Those living in Manna House have the opportunity to develop employment skills as they work through their life recovery. The project will have ongoing financial support from the proceeds of a new thrift shop that opened in Mercer next to Walts called Twice Blessed. Please check out Twice Blessed as a source for gently-used fashions and furniture. The store is operated totally by volunteers, and would welcome your time should you wish to volunteer some extra time you may have.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
