Missional Monday

On Monday night our Missional Church committee met and made some decisions about our winter survival kits. We decided on what was going into the kits and how many we were going to shoot for. We figure they are going to cost about $25 each and with the resources we have now, that would allow us to start with 50 of them.

The kits would include a blanket, some laundry detergent, some personal care items like toothpaste and shampoo, some white socks, coupons for energy efficient light bulbs, a recipe for a great vegetable soup and all the ingredients for the first batch and if possible some other reference materials on services that are available throughout the city.

Our target area is the West Side where we live. We hope to partner with the Martin Luther King Center to provide a lunch that includes the soup and to distribute the kits some time in January.

Cynthia Strouse is planning on organizing a few no sew parties to put together these "no sew" blankets. If you are interested in helping with this or any part of our program, let me or one of the committee members know. The committee consists of Curt Brockway, Amanda Dunz, Judy Dupont, Sue Ferguson, Phil Postler, Cynthia Strouse and Jodi Vara.
