Registration opens for Spring Seminary classes for All
This year during Advent the Anglican Church Women are supporting newborns and their families through the Infant Layette Program facilitated by Catholic Community Services.
The CCS distributes up to 40 layettes a month to families in need in Snohomish County who are referred to the program by public health nurses, health districts, DSHS, churches and treatment facilities.
Please help us support these families by making a monetary gift or donating a new or gently-used infant item from the list below.
MakE a Monetary Gift
Monetary donations are a great way to multiply your gift, as Catholic Community Services makes purchases in bulk. Place your gift in the Sunday offering plate, or mail it to the church. (Write “Infant Layette Program” in memo line.)
Donate New or Gently Used Baby Items
Choose an item from the list below, and place it in the donation basket in the Narthex
Dental products such as toothbrushes and toothpaste
Our dear sister, Mabel Ezeonwu, is collecting reading glasses (new or used) and dental products such as tooth brushes and toothpaste for a medical missionary trip to Guatemala in July. Sunglasses are also welcome.
Mabel will be leading the trip with a team of doctors and nurses, where they set up clinics and provide health care services to the local indigenous Mayan communities. Fitting clients with reading glasses makes a difference in their lives and their functionality.
Collection baskets are located in the Narthex. Thank you for your generosity.
