Blanket Sunday Feb. 26th 

Most of us carry a spare tire in our cars.  Being prepared for the unexpected can make all the difference in an emergency. Church World Service has learned that lesson well over its more than 60 year history of responding to disasters and other urgent humanitarian crisis. Our Blankets + Offering will go to support the life-saving work of Church World Service here at home and around the world.  Often, the first thing CWS provides in an emergency is a blanket for warmth, comfort, and sometimes even shelter.  But as needs change, other things are required – tents, food, water, and the tools and materials to rebuild.  That’s why it’s called Blankets +.  When we see the results of a disaster, its easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless, but through CWS blankets +, our contributions add up and enable CWS to respond effectively when people need the help most.  Together we can do a lot!  Please be generous.
