Have the dire headlines of conflicts around the world got you down? Wish there was some way you could help? Project CURE’s warehouse in Jennersville needs volunteers. Project CURE collects, sorts, repacks, and ships donated medical supplies to countries in need worldwide. Just since December, they sent to Ukraine six containers, and air shipments to Israel and Gaza. In 2023, 18 containers were sent all around the world.

There are volunteer opportunities for everyone – no experience required. Training provided. Help is urgently needed to sort and pack items arriving at the warehouse. Volunteers with any level of medical training are especially needed to audit specialized supplies before packing. The warehouse is open 9 am – 4 pm  Monday – Thursday and 9 am -12 pm on Friday. Come anytime your schedule permits. Click here for more info. Questions? Contact Rachel Rider.

10:45 am December 3, 10, 17 & January 7 • Hybrid (Spellman Jr. & Zoom)

In his four-week DVD series, In Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation, Will Willimon introduces us to the God who brings heaven to earth and changes everything. God’s choice of incarnation allows us to reflect on the mystery that Christ is the full revelation of God instead of someone who talks about God or speaks for or acts as God. Through this study, led by Pastor Jennie, Pastor Leah and Ernie Kimmel, we will explore the paradox of Jesus as both fully human and fully divine. In Advent, we celebrate and anticipate the earth-shaking, life-transforming good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way. Click here to attend via Zoom. Questions? Contact Jennie Clark.

As you start to decorate your home for the Christmas season and find old or broken lights, drop them off in a bin located in Spellman Hall or Café 10 West between December 3 and January 7. We will deliver the lights to a recycling location so they don’t end up in a landfill. The lights will be broken down to recover their raw commodities, which can be used to create construction materials, electronics, and other items. Thank you so much for your participation!
