Mitten, glove and hat drive for the Acton Shelter
MITTEN, GLOVE AND HAT DRIVE FOR MINUTEMAN INN SHELTER
During the month of November, we will be collecting brand new hats, gloves, and mittens for the residents in the shelter at the Minuteman Inn. For anyone who would prefer to make a monetary donation, the middle school children will take on the task of shopping. Many of the residents are Haitians who are here legally with parolee immigration status. We are all aware of how they have been victimized by the nasty rhetoric on the campaign trail. We will be setting up a card making station to write messages of welcome and caring that we will tuck in the clothing. Our aim is to bring this bundle of love to the shelter the week of Thanksgiving.

Keeping vigil: Prayer resource as we approach election day
Opportunities to pray for the people, the leadership, and the state of current affairs in the United States and the world.
As we approach election day, we invite you to download this prayer resource to be an aid in your time of prayer. It includes prayers selected from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, intermixed with hymns and scripture.
This prayer vigil is a non-partisan way of coming together through prayer to light a candle, say a prayer for the life and safety of our nation, and our nation’s leadership. It is also a time to remember the work we have to do as a country with regards to racism, and restoring civility and respect among all people.
As we pray, may we be so brave as to listen for God’s voice leading us to the work we have in repenting for our sins, making efforts not to repeat them, living in a new way. Prayers are designed to be offered by individuals or families at home; or while praying in the church or other sacred place. May God be with you.
