Give Yourself Space

The link to this week's live-streamed service is here.

Imagine opening your closet and having space to see what is in there, and to know every item fits! SPPC can help you clear the clutter.

The "Bring and Take" event on Saturday was an opportunity to swap your useless stuff for someone else's useless stuff. I missed it. I had my second shingles vaccination earlier in the week. I woke up feeing awful and then I remembered that when I'd had the first shot, I'd had the same reaction. I hurt everywhere! Even the spray from the shower felt like a blast of buckshot against my skin. If the vaccine makes me feel like that, I'd hate to experience a full-blown case of shingles.

On top of that, my husband had only a nasty cold to bring to the event and we doubted anyone would want to take that home. 

But, thanks to our intrepid and diligent clerk of session, I have pictures to share.

Something for the outdoorsman

Good thing I missed it. I'm a sucker for pretty china

We have another opportunity to clear the closets coming up in May. SPPC is holding a clothing drive for the Mustard Seed Street Church. Here is a chance to donate those pants, in your bottom drawer, that you are never, ever going to fit into again. I have a lovely pair I've been hanging onto because they have an Eaton's label. I must resist the urge to turn my house into a museum and give those slacks to someone who can use them. 

I'll hang onto my worn out t-shirts and shorts as they make good gardening outfits. I find it impossible to buy something new and then kneel in the dirt or snag them on the rose bushes. However, there are still useable coats in the front closet and sweaters on a shelf that deserve a new life with someone else. 

All that stuff you have held onto for years, "just in case," could be a life changer for clients of the Mustard Seed. Plus, you'll have space for new stuff.

The Mustard Seed suggests sweat pants, jogging pants, rain jackets, shorts, tee shirts, coats, underwear, socks and shoes. If you want to contribute these or other useful items, just bring them by the church during the month of May.
