PARKING LOT GANG MINISTRY Mats update and upcoming Homeless Events

Hello all, I hope this email finds you well. Please give a shout out and let us know how you are doing. The world may be crazy, but our Mats Ministry continues to try and be a light for those in need.

Mats: We still need plarn to be made. We have BUNCHES of bags. If you need bags or have strips or plarn ready for the next step, please let me know. We are looking to get the assembly line going again.

It sounds like we will have at least 7 mats for our next need, we'd love more!!

Now for some really exciting news about our ministry. A few of us in this ministry have formed "The Parking Lot Gang". This will serve as the distribution arm of our ministry. We are taking our finished mats along with clothes and snack food items and setting up tables to help distribute these items.

We recently set up at a Showered and Empowered event in St Pete. We were able to help them feed 100+ people and we distributed food and clothing to over 40.

Everything we had collected was given away that day. We want to do this again in January.

We have decided to try and do more pop-up parking lot pantry events. Our first step is to collect from the congregation and neighborhood. We are going to hold a Collection drive. The dates are Nov 7th and Nov 15th in the Allendale side parking lot or Chapel drive through. More info coming on the collection drive. Stay Tuned.

Thanksgiving: The Mat Ministry Parking Lot Gang will host a small holiday luncheon for the homeless community at Booker Creek. (Expecting 15-25 people). We'd love company if this interests you! We are also looking for someone to make potatoes or stuffing, or donate a case of water. If you are interested, please let Barb or me know.

I hope you are doing well and these events will give you a chance to plug in. Also, if you need anything, let Barb or me know.

Peace, -Shelli

MATS FOR THE HOMELESS VIDEO ON THE LEARNING ZONE

November 24th

Please keep donating your plastic bags!

We constantly see commercials on Serta Mattress with a price range of $800 to over $2,000. Donating Plastic Bags and helping in the to Workshop for the Homeless is the least we can do. Since we can’t give all the Homeless a Serta Mattress, is it too much to give them an American Made product of a Plastic Mat.

another day added to the homeless mat ministry 3 Sunday of each month after mass from 12:30 - 2:30 pm rd

For those that are not Night Owls and would like to participate in this needed Ministry.
