Giving Thanks

for our neighbors

Our immigrant neighbors have been under seige for the past couple of months -- many of them fearful of leaving their homes to go to work, school or the grocery store.

Waukegan to College has asked for our help in providing families in their college prep and support programs with a Thanksgiving meal, a measure of comfort in these difficult times.  They have arrangements to provide turkeys and $40 grocery store gift cards to their families but need help providing hams for families that prefer that as their holiday meal.  They are looking to purchase 70 hams.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate $25 per ham for as many hams as you would like to contribute.  You can do that by writing a check to St. Paul's with "HAM" in the memo line or put cash in a pew envelope and write "HAM" on it.

• Give through our online giving portal.  Here's a link.  Please select "Emergency Assistance Fund" from the pulldown Fund menu and select enter an amount in increments of $25 depending on how many hams you would like to donate. 
  
  Yours in Christ,
  Pastor Mark
