I am pleased to announce that we have begun the development of a new outreach ministry to be called, The Lydia Project. This ministry is named for Lydia who is mentioned in the New Testament whose heart was opened to the Lord and attended to the things spoken of by Paul. This ministry will serve the Canaan Family and the community-at-large by conducting clothing drives to benefit needy families and individuals. The first clothing drive will take place on Saturday, September 26 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. Additional drives will follow in the near future.
Clothing collected will be delivered to homeless shelters, substance abuse shelters and other human service delivery agencies. We invite you to bring your clean gently used garments on Saturday, September 26 to Canaan between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon. Volunteers are needed to sort and to drive.
For additional information, please see Gladys Foster, Jocelyn Smith or Cheri Hunter. You may sign up to participate in the outer lobby following our 11:00 a.m. worship service.
