SPECIAL EVENTS AND SOCIALS

Here's a schedule of special events that are coming up:

December 3~ Bridal Shower for Amy Bennett, in the home of Marilyn Hinkefent.

Note: Ladies Christmas Brunch on Dec. 3rd, has been cancelled, since we have so many other church social events for this month. We will schedule another coffee during the winter months.

"SHE EXTENDS HER HANDS TO THE NEEDY..."

(UPDATED 10/14)

Proverbs 31:20 says~ "She extends her hand to the poor, and stretches out her hands to the needy.

The women of SBC are ready and willing to stretch out their hands to help the poor and needy victims of this catastrophic hurricane! I believe that our efforts may be more effective if we joined hands w/ a larger organization. Here are some opportunities that we've checked into:

1. Christ for Humanity~ so far they have not contacted me w/ specific info about any projects they are involved w/.
   
2. Tulsa Housing Authority~ the org. in charge of the housing projects in Tulsa. Very pro-Christian and have coordinated w/ us to do Bible studies etc in apartments. They are housing hurricane evacuees in some of the apt. complexes in Tulsa (Comanche is one of them) They would probably appreciate our church's involvement w/ these people. The contact info is Robin Birchfield 581-5732~ she's the person in charge of housing for these people.
   
3. Red Cross is no longer an option.
4. Salvation Army~ if anyone plans to go out to Camp Gruber, they have to first be screened by SA. Not sure how this process works, but you can't just show up at Camp Gruber and expect to help out, etc. You have to go thru SA's volunteer screening process.
   

I would make one comment here~ these THA apt. complexes can be dangerous places, (esp. Comanche.) Any ministry should be carefully coordinated w/ Tulsa Housing.
