Plan now to attend this important informative session on Sabbath afternoon, May 15 at Sabbath, May 1, 2010 there is a Children's Ministry training opportunity at the Do you know of a child who would like to attend Elder's Meeting – Please mark your calendar for Saturday, April 24 at Have you been approached on Sabbath by someone begging for money? We are getting an increasing number of homeless/needy individuals who see the crowd on Sabbath mornings and enter our church looking for a handout, almost always cash. We STRONGLY recommend that you do the following: Let the individual know that the church doesn't have cash on hand but that one of our deacons is available to help. Then walk them to one of our deacons. Our deacons will take it from there. We STRONGLY discourage you from giving them cash. While your heart may want to help, your generosity only perpetuates the problem. It almost guarantees that they will return, often when there is only one or a few people at the church and when they are denied more cash, they become angry and occasionally the situation has become volatile. Just so you know, it is my policy to offer anyone who comes to us asking for assistance, the opportunity to select food items from our pantry and on occasion will provide them with gas cards that are kept on hand. I will also spend as much time as they need helping them contact social service agencies on their behalf. A list of our deacons is posted on both bulletin boards. SSLC thanks all who donated their grocery bags for SSLC's use. They have enough now to last through the remainder of the year. They asked and YOU responded, again. Thank you for supporting this ministry. |
