Raising a grandchild? Or do you know someone who is? Beatitudes Center DOAR (a nonprofit, interfaith organization our congregation partners with) may pay for all or part of registration fees for activities or camps that are enriching for grandchildren while also providing a welcome “break” for grandparents. Additional services are also available at no charge, such as support groups, fun family outings, seminars and legal services. Call 602-274-5022 to request assistance or see www.centerdoar.org for further information.

 

Showing Your Compassion

Our partnership with Beatitudes Center DOAR, through its VICaP Faith in Action program, brings help and hope to elders who no longer can drive. The program pairs caring volunteers with homebound adults who need visiting, grocery shopping, home repairs, computer training, rides to doctor appointments, respite, help with paperwork, or friendly phone calls.  Please put your smile and caring spirit into action and become part of this network of care.  To get started, attend a volunteer orientation.  Call 602-285-0543 for a list of upcoming orientation dates and to register, or visit www.centerdoar.org. Substitutes are needed in the upcoming months as volunteers go on vacation, as well as people who are available to serve on a regular basis.  Thank you!

Text Box:  OPERATION “HAPPY FEET”

 The Conference Board of Global Ministries and the Conference Task Force on Children and Poverty are pleased to announce the details of this year's Annual Conference Mission Project - Happy Feet!  Make somebody's feet happy - sock 'em! Like a warm foot massage, like a soak in the tub, like a tea cozy for your toes - we need socks! Any kind, any size, any color. Tube socks, ankle socks,  kids’ socks, bobby socks. New socks (adults and kids) are to be collected by churches.  Socks are to be distributed in your local area. Bring the count of pairs collected and a dollar for every pair to Annual Conference. Your dollars will go to international mission efforts. See you at the Happy Feet conference table in June!  Watch the bulletin for news about how Shepherd of the Valley will be a part of this outreach ministry, benefiting God’s children here and abroad!
