            [post_content] => United Parish Reads "How We Learn to be Brave" by Bishop Mariann Budde
March 24th - April 28th
Join others in our community in reading this inspirational book about decisive moments in life and faith.

Are you searching for how to respond to the changes being made in Washington, DC? If so, join others in United Parish in reading Bishop Marianne Budde’s book How we learn to be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith. After Easter, we will be having small discussion groups about the book and each of our own journeys to make our voices heard. Decisions to speak out are very personal but we can look to our United Parish community for support in making those decisions.

Click HERE for places to borrow or buy the book.Sign up to let us know you are reading the book and the most convenient times for a discussion group here.

Discussion groups will follow the reading as we explore how the book relates to each of us in this time in our nation's history.

Our teens are launching a clothing drive for CityReach this week, and will be collecting clothing and toiletries up until our CityReach overnight on April 11th! Donations can be dropped off outside Pastor Amy's office. Please take a look through your closets for items to bring:



 USED CLOTHING, including:

 	
Warm coats in Winter
 	
Nylon jackets, ponchos, and raincoats for the Spring & Fall
 	
Sweatshirts and sweatpants (especially hooded sweatshirts)
 	
Sweaters
 	
T-shirts
 	
Long-sleeve shirts
 	
Jeans, khakis and other casual pants
 	
Waterproof boots, comfortable shoes, and sneakers
 	
Hats, waterproof gloves, scarves
 	
Belts
 	
Backpacks, tote bags, fanny packs, small suitcases with wheels
 	
Travel-size toiletries such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, lotion, chapstick, toothpaste, and shaving cream in small sizes. Toothbrushes, disposable razors, and tampons. We cannot share aftershave or mouthwash containing alcohol.
 	
New white socks (there can never be too many of these)
 	
New underwear for both men and women, and bras (again, there can never be too many. All sizes, from small to XL needed.)
 	
Sleeping bags & blankets (clean and in good condition)



DO NOT bring children’s clothes, dress clothes, slippers, bathrobes, pajamas or out-of-season clothing.

Some helpful reminders from CityReach staff: Our guests have to survive living outside. Imagine what you would need… What would you wear camping or hiking? What are you willing to carry for weeks at a time? A comfortable, rugged shirt is more important than a delicate blouse. Large sizes (XL, XXL, and XXXL) are in high demand, as they can be layered. We sort our clothing by item type: pants, shirts, sweaters/sweatshirts, coats, and under clothing. We do not sort by gender. 80 percent of our guests identify as male and almost all of our guests want practical unisex clothing. Please limit your women-specific clothing donations. Having too much of what we don’t need makes it hard to find what we do need.
