Line Lexington Mennonite Church Community Happenings

For Sunday, March 7, 2010

 

Thank you for your prayer support of Mennonite education. The Mennonite Education Agency has posted new Prayers for Faith and Learning for the month of March at www.MennoniteEducation.org/PRAYERS. Subscriptions are available online by visiting www.MennoniteEducation.org/Subscribe.

 

The Mennonite Central Committee Material Resource Project for March is flat sheets.  Flat sheets are one item still in very short supply and they are critically needed.   MCC is seeking 10,000 NEW flat. All Cotton fabric and 300 count threads are preferred if possible as they work the best for mosquito netting purposes. Sheets and relief kits can be dropped off at the MCC Material Resource Center’s new location at 737 Hagey Center Drive, Suite C, Souderton (next to Hagey’s Bus Service on Schoolhouse Road).

 

Tents for Haiti - As part of the relief/recovery efforts for people in Haiti, Souderton Mennonite Church is collecting 4-person or larger tents (new or in good shape with all parts) and 8' x 10' or larger tarps.
