Coats and other things that tell the Gospel story

One of the things that we are most serious about at The Way is expressing the love of Jesus Christ to people in need by making it a point to share our possessions to meet those needs to the best of our ability. One of the ways that we do this is by using a web-based database called The Common. It makes disseminating information much less complicated.

This week on The Common one of the people from The Way made it known that she has some homeless friends who are in need of coats and other winter-weather items. And to put it more clearly, she has LOTS of homeless friends in need. So The Way is making it our mission to find coats...lots and lots of them...

Do you have a coat or two collecting dust in your closet? If so, can we have it? We're collecting them at our upcoming worship gathering on Sunday, November 8th. If you have a coat to donate, bring it with you on Sunday morning. If you have a coat to donate but don't, or can't, attend The Way this Sunday, we'd still like to get it from you. Email me to make arrangements for delivering the coats at:

pm@thewayministries.info

We're gonna collect these coats on Sunday, lay them on the floor in front of the altar elements, pray over them, and send them off for delivery to their new owners.

"I have come to recognize that, if I have two coats in my closet, one of them belongs to one who has no coat."
-Dorothy Day

Grace and Peace be with you.
