Changing Lives, One Pair at a Time

by

eyeglassesOnce again, SMA Mission Committee is collecting eyeglasses.  There is a box in the Parish Hall  for donations of eyeglasses.
In just about any home, one can find a pair of eyeglasses that are no longer being used. That same pair of eyeglasses can change another person’s life. the Lions Recycle for Sight program collects used eyeglasses and delivers them to regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers (LERCs) .
LERC volunteers clean, sort by prescription strength and package the glasses. Recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in low and middle income communities where they will have the greatest impact. Donate glasses and change someone’s life.
The North East Lions Club thanks you for your support of this important mission. Questions can be directed to Joanne Veater.

Change the Game-Souper Bowl of Caring

by

soup potAfter this Sunday’s Service, January 29th, our youth will stand outside with a soup pot and request cash donations for our Outreach. This activity began more than 25 years ago, with a simple prayer from a youth group:
“Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat.”
Please be generous!
