On Monday, October 10th (a holiday for some), the Churches of Charles— The Episcopal Cathedral of the Incarnation, First English Lutheran, Sts. Philip and James, Second Presbyterian, and University Baptist — are coming together to serve Baltimore.
There are knitting opportunities, cooking, lunch/dinner serving, shelf stocking, clean-ups, and harvesting to name a few. Opportunities will be scheduled throughout the day, as well as a few on other days during the week.
If it’s not a holiday for you, take the day, or just a few hours, off work to serve and share Christ’s love in your community. This is a great use for those “use or lose” leave days that you may have. Children and youth are welcome at many activities. Sign up online today.
