Following Through...

Therefore, we resolve to begin exploring 

the possibility of establishing 

a Clothes Closet at Providence Presbyterian Church.

 

In beginning to write our confession together at our first meeting, we wrote the above.  Let's begin to think in earnest on this big dream for ministry to the poor.  Let's follow through.

 

Here are some things we need to consider and discuss at our meeting next Tuesday at 7pm at Providence Presbyterian Church.  Please prayerfully consider these questions:

• Do we want this to be a Presbyterian Women ministry?  Or will we propose this as an idea for our church's Mission Outreach Evangelism committee?
• How will the ministry be run?  When will the clothes closet be open?  What are the rules for use of the clothes closet?  Where would we like to house the clothes closet?
• Staffing is necessary for intake and sorting of donations, operating the closet, and getting the word out.  How will we recruit for these positions?
• Is there a budget need for this new ministry? 

Here are a few links to clothes closet ministries already in existence.  Click on each link and take a look... what do you like about each and what might we do differently?

• Village Presbyterian Church Food Pantry and Clothes Closet 
• Calvary Memorial Church Emergency Clothes Closet 
• Our Savior's Lutheran Church Women's Clothes Closet
• Crossroads Christian Church Clothes Closet 

What amazing women of faith you are!  Praising God for each of you today!

PS - Don't forget to spend time in Lesson Two of our study book, "Greatly Honored Are the Mourners!" before next Tuesday night!
