Gathering to Help Isaac Clean-Up Efforts
Sunday, September 9, 5:30 pm, 618 Locust Street
Back Bay Mission, a Biloxi, Mississippi non-profit community ministry of the South Central Conference United Church of Christ, "serves the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the wider church community by faithful witness for social justice and compassionate service to the poor and marginalized." Some of its ministries include: care for homeless men and women; providing affordable housing; food, health, utility, and education assistance; and mental health care. Back Bay and the people it serves were deeply impacted by Hurricane Katrina, and they have now experienced the impact of Hurricane Isaac. We will help them put some of the pieces of their lives back together this Sunday night as we gather to live our practices of compassion and service; we will assemble hygiene kits. All materials will be provided except for your hands - which are crucial for being able to complete the task! While we will not have a potluck, you are invited to bring snack food and drinks in addition to your willing hands and compassionate spirit.
