Homeless Period Project update

Thanks to all who so generously donated items to the Homeless Period Project. Although the Faith Community Nurses collection drive is over, the need is still great. This is an ongoing project for the chapter at St. John’s United Methodist Church who will continue with distribution of these much needed resources for women who are homeless, in shelters, with limited resources, and in for all the local schools. If you are interested in donating to this project, there are drop off sites at the United Way, Anderson Fire Dept. Station 1, Comfort Keepers Home Care, and the St. John’s Clothes Closet. Monetary donations can also be payable to St. John’s UMC and dropped off at the church office. For more information on donating, contact nurse@stjohnsanderson.com.

HOLY TRINITY TROTTERS

HOLY TRINITY TROTTERS
After the holidays, we tend to feel a little tired and sometimes a bit of a let down after the excitement and
fun of the season.
What better time to begin to rejuvenate our mind, body, and spirit? Our faith unites our body, mind and spirit into a whole being. A walking program has physical benefits but we can also add intentional reflection or a devotional element. Stepping away from the demands of our daily routines to walk, reflect, and pray reminds us that God created us and wants us to come closer to Him.
Starting January 4th, you are invited to join the 2020 Holy Trinity Trotters. Using the Walk the Talk devotionals, we will meet each Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. at the AnMed track. There we will walk and reflect and even pray together. If you are interested, please sign up on the sheet in the narthex so that we have enough books for all. Any questions? Please contact Amy Goodson.
