Missions of Croswell-First
- Oct 6, 2010
The First Presbyterian Church of Croswell completed two local missions projects this week.
Sunday more than 35 brown paper bags full and overflowing with groceries were placed before the communion table. All the contents were given to the local community Ministerium Food pantry. Two weeks ago the congregation was given empty brown bags and asked to return them, full, to help those locally in need. Placed before the communion table, they were a visible sign and symbol of our congregations reaching to help.
During this week, winter coats donated throughout the community were assembled and prepared for give away in our annual Coats For Kids drive. More than 300 winter coats, plus scarves, boots, snow pants, hats, mittens, seat shirts and sweaters were donated. About half of the coats for preschoolers and younger still had store tags attached. In addition approximately $900 in cash was also donated, to be used to buy coats for those whose size is not available. Friday and Saturday the coats will be given away to students and families of our Croswell-Lexington School District, preschool through high school. In addition the community of Peck also joined in, and their students will also be covered. Any left over coats will be transferred to the Sandusky effort. No coat will go untaken. Monies left over will be used in local mission.
