Fifteen people came out on the First Tuesday in February at The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd to put together 100 Blessing Bags with snacks, toiletries and handmade hats and scarves. They were distributed to Spooner House and the Beth El Center, who are extremely grateful.
The church thanked everyone who donated to the project and turned out to participate. It sent special thanks to an anonymous donor of the four bags of hand-crocheted scarves and hand-knitted hats. All of the extras went to Holy Infant’s Midnight Run.
First Tuesdays at Good Shepherd are family-friendly evenings of community-building, service projects, and prayer. They start at 6:45 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. People of all ages are welcome to come to the parish hall for fun and fellowship. The next will take place March 6.
The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd is located at 680 Racebrook Rd. in Orange. For more information, call the parish office at 203-795-6577, email thegoodspheherd@optonline.net, or visit thegoodshepherdorangect.org or facebook.com/cgsorangect.
