“A TIME TO LOVE”
We are ready to begin another successful year of Berks Heim Bingo
starting Tuesday, October 14, 2008. This can only be achieved
through works of Stewardship from our Parish and Faith
Community. Through “Time” we can Serve the Lord by serving and
embracing the elderly. Through volunteering 2 hours of our
precious time for only 1 month of the six month period we can give
the most precious gift . . . Love. To give His people . . . our people,
who are in a time in their lives when it is most desperately needed.
Through “Talent” we are asking for bakers to prepare Angel Food
Cakes, Shortbread or Sugar Cookies as our special treat/give for the
residents. Young or old, we all love TREATS!! Through “Treasure”
we are asking for donations of all types as prizes to give.
Whether monetary or donations of tissues, lotions,
perfumes/colognes, tissues, button down or zip up sweaters, tissues,
large print search and find or crossword puzzles, tissues, powder,
slippers, tissues, small stuffed animals, costume jewelry and did I
mention TISSUES!! Please consider this wonderful opportunity to
Serve! I have seen it make a difference in so many lives, especially in
the Volunteers! If you are looking for community service hours, a
family volunteer activity or just simply want to help, please call Liz
Lyons-Bortz at 610-451-4550 to receive more details. God bless!
