Amy’s House Needs
Domestic violence is a major issue everywhere. At Amy’s House, the Lincolnton residence for victims of domestic violence, there are as many as 12 women along with several children. Through the month of April, we are asking you to provide the following items that Amy’s House is in need of at this time:
Hair brushes, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and soft, slip-on slippers (they have socks but the floors are cold).
Please bring any donations and place them in the bin in the mission hall cabinet marked “Monthly Missions.” This is a chance to reach out to those in need!
Safe Sanctuary Training
Sunday, April 29, at 4:00 pm in the meeting room
Anyone who works with children and youth in any capacity needs to complete Safe Sanctuary Training. This is for anyone who needs to be trained, and it is a renewal for anyone who has been trained in the past.
Funtimers Trip to Greensboro Science Center
Our trip will be on April 30 when we will leave Salem at 8:05 am and return around 3:00 pm.
