Community Service Sunday

January 30, 2022, 11 AM

Outdoors at GNUUC Gazebo Area

On 5th Sundays, in lieu of our traditional Worship Service, we collectively participate in a community service project. This Sunday’s project is hosted by Shared Ministries & Social Action.

On January 30, we will be building Welcome Home Baskets for Room In The Inn!

From Room In The Inn:
After having no place to call your own for many months or years at a time, moving into a house or apartment is a major milestone. Many of the people we help to find housing arrive with few belongings aside from the clothes on their back. To help them settle into their new homes, we provide “Welcome Home Baskets” filled with essential items. By helping us to fill Welcome Home Baskets, you can give our neighbors another reason to celebrate the journey home.

Welcome Home Basket Checklist (your creativity is also welcomed!):

  • Plastic Storage Bin

  • Full/Double Sheets and Blanket

  • Shower Curtain and Hooks

  • Pots and Pans

  • Silverware & Kitchen Utensils

  • Bath & Dish Towels

  • Paper Towels & Toilet Paper

  • 13-gallon Trash Can & Trash Bags

  • Broom & Dust Pan

  • Dinnerware (Plates, Bowls, & Glasses for 4)

Please sign up to bring items on the Welcome Home Baskets Sign-Up Form. If you need help accessing this form, contact Kris T. at gnuuc@gnuuc.org.

Weather permitting, we will bundle up and make these baskets in the gazebo area outdoors.

Bring a folding chair and afterward we can socialize and catch up. (There are several tables and chairs available onsite if you don’t have one.)

Check the e-blast the Wednesday before for drop-off plans if there is inclement weather.
