RAIN
There are some exciting new changes at RAIN. Please see the following letter from Rev. Amy Brooks.
"Although we continue to provide support to people living with HIV both in Charlotte & the Rock Hill area through volunteer CareTeams, as well as the Supply Closet and the RAINdeer Project, we are currently developing programming in new areas including:
a peer support program by and for positive people consisting of monthly phone calls and cards;
advocacy leadership development which allows positive people to receive training to approach legislators, speak out on issues of concern, and to develop a website (POZ Charlotte).
We have several staff providing support in the Rock Hill area now, thereby allowing me to continue developing the Education and Advocacy program at RAIN. I will be partnering more fully with the Catawba Care Coalition to bring new congregations on board in the SC area to support the clinic particularly with transportation issues.
We hope to plan a training session soon in SC; so if you are interested please call me at 704-372-7246 ext. 114.
As always, we are so grateful for the consistent donations from the church for the Supply Closet. You really make it possible! "
Peace, Amy
IHN
The Interfaith Hospitality Network is a nonprofit agency that provides shelter, food, and life skills training to help families regain and maintain self-sufficiency. Churches host the families at night and prepare them three meals a day. Currently there are 13 host churches (Our Saviour is one).
About five times a year, each church hosts the families for one week. Volunteers are the core of this valuable program. Volunteers stay the night with the families, help set up the site, and work at the day center. The director, Jennifer Coye, works with our local IHN facilitator, Joseph Zoubian, to provide oversight for the program.
USHERING IS FOR YOU!
We need more volunteers to become ushers. If you would like to assist in this important ministry, please contact the church office.
ENJOY SNACKS AFTER CHURCH?
Please make our coffee hour after the worship service special. We are being blessed with quite a few new members. Please be sure to look around during coffee hour and introduce yourself to anyone you might not know. Don't forget to wear your name tag!
A Fellowship Hour list is up in the parish hall. Please consider signing up for a coffee hour. This is a ministry everyone appreciates!
ANGLICAN ROSARIES
The Rosary Guild provides handmade Anglican Rosaries for weddings, baptisms, and confirmation. If you would like a rosary or if you would like to request one for someone else, simply contact Juan Brunson or Linda Campfield.
There is no charge for the rosaries; however, if anyone wishes to make a donation at anytime, please make your check payable to: Church of our Saviour and mark it for the “Rosary Guild.” Your donation will go to one of the four Mission and Outreach Programs of the Church.
NAMETAGS ARE AVAILABLE
Name tags are a way for everyone to know your name, so please be sure to start wearing your name tag. If you don’t have one we would like to make you one. Just sign up on the sheet in the Parish Hall.
