All-Age Vacation Bible Camp

Mark your calendars—July 27-31

After the success of Camp David last year we have decided to do another All-Age Vacation Bible Camp. This year the theme is “Jonah Goes to Joppa.” Elizabeth Hadaway has written the play and we are organizing this month. There is a meeting after the 10:30 service for organization. If you have any questions speak to Fr. Mike.

Knitting for Johns Hopkins Hospital

Every three months we are trying to deliver handmade

knitted hats, sweaters, small baby blankets and crib blankets to Johns Hopkins Hospital. They are used on premature infants and given to needy families. Your time knitting is very much appreciated, particularly if your donations of handmade items keeps this ministry going. Donations of surplus knitting yarn are also welcomed. If you like people and can remember to ask your friends and neighbors if they knit, we would be grateful to them for helping us with this mission. They don’t have to attend our church or join a group. It’s not where the items are made, but the caring that is given, that matters.

Food Pantry: we support the “Helping Hands Food Pantry,” 7901 Bradshaw Road, Upper Falls, MD 21156. Phone 410-592-2226. Food is collected all year and deliveries are made as needed.

Paul’s Place: In the early winter we collect warm clothing for the homeless at Paul’s Place in Baltimore.  This effort is expanded to supply seasonal clothing as needed.

Seafarers’ Mission: At Christmas we fill gift boxes for the Seafarers’ Mission in Baltimore. These people are indigent crew members from foreign countries.  They arrive here with no warm clothing,  through no fault of their own.  We collect clothing and supply them with toiletries. Our goal this Christmas was twenty boxes and we filled thirty-two.

The Harford County Women’s Detention Center offers more outreach opportunities.  Our contact there is Chaplin Roberts at 410-836-5090. Inmates at the center are required to have plain white cotton bras and underpants, and have no funds available to purchase them.  Church members donate these items. Other needs are plain writing paper, envelopes and stamps
