Something to Prayerfully Consider
NeighbourLink Chatham-Kent is looking for volunteer drivers and friendly visitors/phone buddies. The driving would be for medical appointments (mainly) and the friendly visits/phone buddy calls are for the large number of lonely people in our community. Your help, especially during the long, colder winter days and nights is greatly needed. If you have some time you would like to invest in others, please call the NeighbourLink office at 519-352-5647 or fill out a Volunteer application online at www.neighbourlinkck.com/get-involved. Thank you and God Bless. Alan Baker, Managing Director
With the days getting colder and nights longer – and with the homelessness problem only worsening, Christ Church would welcome sleeping bags to be handed out to the needy.
Thank you so much for your consideration.
