Our next collection is Sunday, May 6 . Donations can be left in the marked box near the church office at any time or brought to church with you on Sunday. Blanket the World With Love Sunday, May 13 is Mother s Day and it is also Blanket Sunday at Brookside Church. As is our custom on that day, a special offering will be received in support of Church World Service s Blanket Program. Blankets can provide warmth, shelter, a little privacy, and a means to carry meager possessions.
Blankets also provide victims with emotional comfort and the message that someone cares.
Your gift will help spread warmth, hope, and love around the world. This gift will join with those from thousands of other churches to help people in need around the world and here at home.
