FROM THE CHAPLAIN
Opportunity to Volunteer!! I have been talking with a representative with Gleaning
for the World, a locally-based charity that has been ranked by Forbes Magazine as the
“Most Efficient Large Charity in America”. The scope of their work and reach is mindboggling and includes efforts like U.S. Disaster Relief, International Humanitarian Aid, a
Teddy Bear Brigade, Feeding Our Neighbors, and Serving Those Who Served. We have
been invited to join them in a particular project. To do this, we need willing hands and willing hearts. The specific project is called WINGS. “The WINGS program began when the
women at Gleaning For The World organized a program to deal solely with issues affecting women. When the Gleaning women heard of the issues surrounding a woman’s menstruation cycle in developing countries they knew they had to act. They researched ways
to help and began producing sustainable, reusable feminine hygiene kits.”
Why is this an important issue? “In developing countries, there are stigmas and taboos associated with a woman’s cycle. They aren’t allowed to go to school, work, church,
the store or even out in public because they lack proper feminine hygiene product.
Women lose an estimated 3 MONTHS per year of education and income because they
must hide during their cycle.” These kits are assembled by volunteers and that’s where
we come in. If you are interested to learn more about participating in this hands-on volunteer project here on our campus, please call me – Kristie – at X3303 or drop me a note in
my IL mailbox.
Join us in worship this Sunday at 11:00 AM in Weissert Chapel! All are welcome!
Chaplain Kristie will be preaching from Matthew 23:1-12, “From One Pretender to Another”. Remember also that if you aren’t able to attend chapel in person, the service will
be broadcast on the Westminster Canterbury TV network, channel 970.
Lectionary Readings for 11/2/2014:
Micah 3:5-12; Psalm 43; 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13; Matthew 23:1-12.
Lectionary Readings for 11/9/2014:
Amos 5:18-24; Psalm 70; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Matthew 25:1-13.
Peace to you my friends, Chaplain Kristie
HAPPINESS REPORTS AND FYI
“Happiness is making new friends now that all of us have to use the same elevators to reach the bridge.”
Happiness is getting acquainted with the trees of our scenic Nature Trail during
the walk by our resident forester.
Fall is here! Soon we will see even more fall colors, we hope! Has anyone
helped you recently? Does that make you happy? Cards are available in the mail
room above the Mixed Paper bin. Turn in your reports to Box C717.
FYI: We had no measurable rain this past week which leaves us with 3.12” for
October and 35.04” for the year. This is only about .55” above normal. The Pedlar
Lake Reservoir is now 6” below normal with 100% of our drinking water coming from
the Reservoir while Smith Mountain Lake is now running about 18” – 20” below
normal pond level.
