Dear Friends, The early church came together across previously unimaginable social and political boundaries in the name of Jesus for mutual support, encouragement, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. We welcome you to attend our in person worship at 9:00 a.m. on Sundays. We sincerely hope that people will feel comfortable and safe returning to in-person worship. Even so, some will not feel safe or face a greater risk, and so we will provide a Zoom link and Facebook live stream to the in-person worship as a way of keeping our community together in worship. This has been a long journey that is not quite at its end, but I am hopeful, along with the Vestry, that we will be able to travel this last stage together with a renewed sense of hope and purpose in our mission to share the love of God with all the world.

Chippewa Valley Street Ministry July 5, 2023Chippewa Valley Street Ministry Journal July 5, 2023 It is incredible to think we're already into July. The days go by quickly for us as we continue to work with our unhoused friends to keep them safe and provide for basic needs. We are dropping boxes of water off in the community on a daily basis to help with hydration needs as the lack of water is a common concern that we hear. The lack of free water sources has been raised as a concern since the beginning of the Street Ministry and we've mentioned it frequently. We encountered a man that looked unwell. He reported that he was being admitted to a local hospital for surgery related to lung cancer. He was told that he'd be discharged back to the street. If you live in this area, you are aware that it has been very hot and very dry. While the following article is not just about our area, it is concerning. Tuesday was world’s hottest day on record – breaking Monday’s record | Climate crisis | The Guardian. We served on Monday when it was 93 degrees and miserable. We know we should not complain knowing that our homes and vehicles have air conditioning and we're living a privileged life. An hour and a half of heat for us is minimal compared to our brothers and sisters who are outdoors all day and possibly nights. By the end of the day, our friends look haggard and tired and are in need of a break. Woman finding some relief from the hot sun.
In a previous journal, we noted the area's poverty and that there seems to be few efforts to combat the suffering of the growing number of individuals and families experiencing poverty. Just recently, we noted an article that not only discusses the poverty in the country but reports that poverty is the fourth leading cause of death. It's a good read: The fourth leading cause of death in the US? Cumulative poverty | Reverend William Barber and Gregg Gonsalves | The Guardian. It seems that it would make sense to address poverty here and nationwide to curb the effects it has: medical, mental health, homelessness, life spans. Is it such an enormous problem that it's being ignored? We have talked about the poverty question in our journals for the last decade, when will we address it for real? Our numbers continue to rise: we're regularly serving 55-60 people. We are fortunate to have not run out of water, Gatorade or food although it has been close a time or two. We've given out countless t-shirts, shorts and tennis shoes. Our guests have been pleasantly surprised when they ask if there's any chance at all that we'd have sunscreen for them and we've handed over a small bottle. The same is true for a belt or shoelaces. We've been in service for 11 years and it never gets tiring seeing the relief on people's faces when we can fill a need. They are truly grateful for our service and for the donations we receive from you and pass on to them. We are taking a break from purchasing bus passes as financially, it isn't a viable practice to regularly do. Unfortunately, that leaves some people without transportation and out in the elements. The relentless heat from the sun. Thank you for your continued interest and support of the street ministry. Please keep our homeless brothers and sisters in your thoughts and prayers. Our needs list is attached, we appreciate your donations. Feel free to share! ~CVSM Staff Thank you for considering Chippewa Valley Street Ministry for your donation!

Kwik Trip Cards FundraiserWe are still partnering with Kwik Trip Fundraising Card Program! As of November 1st, the program is changing slightly. They are now offering a new Grocery Only/In-Store card that we purchase at a 15% base discount. This card can be used toward in-store products. Items not eligible to be purchased with the new card offering include fuel, tobacco, alcohol, gift cars, lottery/lotto, and stamps. This allows us to take advantage of the discount at the point of purchase instead of having to wait for a rebate on grocery items. Regular and Fuel-Only gift cards are still available. We purchase these at a 5% base discount. This is a great way to support the church while purchasing the gas and/or groceries you were going to buy anyway. These cards make great gifts for your friends & family, service providers or employees!
