Subject: Our next Ministerium and a need to make you aware of
Hi Cocalico Ministerium Participants.
I would like to propose a monthly meeting for Tuesday morning, December 8 @ 8:30 am via ZOOM. I will send the necessary links and things closer to the date.
Also . . .
I would like to pass on a need that I've been made aware through one of our Cocalico Care Center student's mother who works in the Adult Inpatient Unit for Wellspan Philhaven in Mount Gretna
She has communicated to me that due to Covid, the length of stay and condition of current inpatient residents has lengthened and been more needy.
She and staff are working extra hard to help provide holiday cheer to the patients. Even more so than previous years, the patients our struggling and are in desperate need of basic necessities.
So she put together a "Christmas Wish List" for the unit, which generally has about 50 patients at any given time.
I let her know I'd pass it along through the Ministerium which likely has churches who have been personally connected over the years with the work and ministry of Philhaven.
Please pass the list along to your congregations if you feel it appropriate.
You can email me personally concerning dropping off any items you collect and I'll be in contact with this Philhaven staff person.
Thanks. (Don't forget to put the meeting on your calendars and ALSO, consider the REAL Life Services First Friday food/needs collection Rod emailed you all about).
The Christmas Wish List for Philhaven includes:
- SOCKS
- UNDERWEAR
- SPORTS BRAS (NO UNDERWIRE)
- SLIDES
- SLIPPERS (NO LACES)
- PLAIN T-SHIRTS
- SWEATPANTS
