The Center has requested some ongoing needs from all the churches in the area. There is a new container in the gathering space for your donations and this list is also posted above the container. Their needs consist of: paper towels, toilet paper, all purpose cleaners, Clorox wipes, tall kitchen garbage bags, Ziploc bags (gallon, quart and sandwich), and *gift cards. *They suggest gift cards to local stores such as Wal Mart, Food Lion, Food City, etc. These are especially helpful because they can then purchase specific items needed at a particular time. (please include them in an envelope in the container) To contact them to ask about other items needed, special projects or to discuss other ways you can donate or help please call 276-625-0219. Thank you for your help!!
- FROM THE OFFICE MANAGER
I have received an email from a young woman who will be moving to Wytheville this fall for a 2 year dental hygiene program at WCC. She is planning to become a parishioner while she is here and plays the harp and is planning to join the choir. She is struggling to find a place to live and is curious if any parishioners may be interested in renting a room to her. If anyone may be interested you may contact her and she is willing to provide more information and references. Contact the office for additional information. Thank you for your consideration.
