SEAFARERS / DITTY BAGS
We want to give a big "Thank you!" to everyone who donated so generously to the request for items to fill the ditty bags this year. Because of your many gifts, on September 22nd we were able to pack 175 bags as Christmas gifts for seamen who will be at sea this Christmas.
Have you ever wondered where these bags go after they are packed? On Tuesday, October 23rd, we will be delivering them to the headquarters of the Seafarers Ministry of the Golden Gate at the Port of Oakland. Everyone is invited to join us. We will carpool from the church at 9 a.m.
While in Oakland we will help pack more
ditty bags from other churches. Lunch will be provided and we will return to Santa
Clara in the mid-afternoon.
For more information, please call Barbara Chicks at (650) 209-5123 or email bchicks55@comcast.net or Virginia Newcomb at (408) 266-1734. Please let us know if you
plan to go, and whether you can drive.
Again, THANK YOU!
Barbara & Virginia
