MONTHLY MISSIONS COLLECTION
Central family, we will be having monthly missions collections that will usually go along with our Missions Focus for the month. This month we will be collecting much needed items for the Orphanage Emmanuel in Honduras. Orphanage Emmanuel's children range in age from babies to young adults, and have a special needs population. They come from difficult circumstances. Some are orphans, some abandoned, abused or come from extreme poverty. We pray for the continued blessing to be able to serve and take care of the children in Honduras. It was founded in 1989 serving in the city of Guaimaca, Honduras. They provide schooling, Christian discipleship, medical and dental care. They even have a working farm! Read more about the orphanage HERE. Or contact Thad & Melissa Green at (mkvgreen@yahoo.com; tbgreen2002@yahoo.com; or Pastor Brian at brian@centralwr.com. Upcoming Misson Collections: October – Kid and Jacket Drive; November – Operation Christmas Child; January – Diaper Drive for the Pregnancy Center.
HELPING HANDS
Helping Hands is a Central Baptist Ministry whose members meet monthly to make "special pads" for those being cared for by Heart of Georgia Hospice. Used, clean donated sheets are trimmed of all seams, elastic or decorative trim and then cut to be layered and hand-sewn to regular hospital medical pads to provide a more comfortable and much softer surface against the skin during care. Once finished, the pads are bagged in bundles of 12 with a card of encouragement. Our volunteers average 12 dozen bundles of pads at each monthly meeting. Work areas are set up in stations for each phase of the process and provides wonderful fellowship for all involved. YOU can help by joining us — we LOVE having new volunteers! — or by donating clean, used sheets. Helping Hands meets from 1-3 pm on the 1st Monday of each month, unless it's a holiday — and then we will meet on the following Monday. No meeting in December. If you would like more information, please call Katty Adkins at 478-919-0124.
