October is the month we remember that Nightwatch needs men’s white socks. Cheap socks are fine since they are discarded after use. Clean, dry socks help keep homeless men comfortable during the cold winter months. Bring white socks, crew length or longer, for men during October. Many pairs of socks are needed to last through the cold winter months.
We think of overnight shelter when we think of Nightwatch which is what they do most. Nightwatch also has some low rent apartments for very low income seniors whose lives are made a lot easier by having a safe place to live, A recent issue of Nightwatch News told about receiving a call of gratitude from a formerly homeless woman who had received many nights of shelter through Nightwatch. She is no longer homeless, and now lives in the Midwest. She is active in her church and community, but never forgot the help she received from Nightwatch when she so desperately needed it. Our fall class is a series studying Dr. Amy-Jill Levine’s book, “Short Stories Jesus Told: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi,” using her videos to amplify the text. Dr. Levine brings her Jewish heritage to her study of the New Testament, and offers keen insights into the parables of Jesus form a Jewish and scholarly perspective. Join us for six Sundays following worship as we learn more about the parables of Jesus. The classes will be on Sundays beginning September 29th, no class on International potluck day, October 6th. The first lesson is on the parables of the Lost Sheep, Lost Coin and Lost Son (Luke 15.)
