We collected 25 units of blood on an original goal of 20 units and when divided into 3 separate blood components we have the potential to help up to 75 patients in need! The staff said it was a very good day and were extremely grateful for you and your volunteers. How do you feel the day went? Is there anything we can do better or differently next time? Please share the attached results flier with your members and the community. It’s wonderful to see 8 first time donors! We hope everyone had a wonderful experience and we will see them again next time! We do not have a future blood program scheduled, would it be possible to partner again this summer and fall/winter timeframe? We received a hefty increase to our collection goals over the summer and are looking for sponsors to add additional blood drive opportunities in the community. Summer is a Critical Need timeframe due to donors taking time off, traveling, vacationing and upcoming holidays. This leads to a decrease in donor activity and a drop in available blood products for patients. Yet, the need for blood products is constant. We have some excellent donor incentives this summer to help promote upcoming programs and keep donors participating! Please let me know if it’s at all possible to add a summer blood drive this July and again this fall or wintertime frame. Winter is also a Critical Need period with holiday and fewer blood programs; blood drives we can add in November help patients through December and/or programs in December help blood products remain readily available through the New Year. ALS Walk 2024 ~June 9th Denise Foster & Mary Gadwill are putting a team together for this event. Please talk to one of them or contact the office if you would be interested in being a part of this.

Benjamin Thomas invites you to worship Sunday in-person or at home 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.

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! Vanco Click here to make your donation online Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral 510 S.
