Attention Grandparents!

On a regular basis we have members of the church call and ask to borrow cribs, high chairs, or pack-n-plays from the church nursery for visiting grandchildren. Other times grandparents or parents have called with items to donate to the church or to others who can use them. I have also seen in several of the stores in town that grandparents can rent such items for visiting grandchildren. It seems a waste to have to buy or rent what others have sitting in storage, and so we are starting a small "grandparents closet" to help out.

As you may know, we have long had a medical supply closet here at the church from which anyone can borrow medical equipment that might be needed for a temporary time, things such as walkers, canes, and wheelchairs. The "grandparents closet" will work along the same lines. We are limited on space (in fact someone is donating space in their home, because we have hardly a cupboard of unused storage space at the church), so the grandparent’s closet will include not anything and everything, but several basic items that grandparents often find themselves needing to borrow, rent, or buy when their grandchildren come to visit. Items such as pack-n-plays, booster seats, umbrella stroller, and bouncy seats or exersaucers. If you need to borrow any of these items contact the church office. If you would like to donate any of these items contact the church office. We are church family and this is one way we can help each other receive and welcome family. It is good to be church family!


Grateful to be part of the family of God with you,
Pastor Shelly
