Wishing Well Ministry
Our next ministry in the Wishing Well will be to support the annual Day of Smiles, which is a huge day of giving to the local community in memory of Erin and Max Nusbaum. Supplies will be collected for Milagro House, Clare House, Brereton Manor, Mom’s House, and the Pet Pantry. Please consider participating in this wonderful day of giving. There are two poster boards full of smiley notes — one above the Wishing Well and one on the Outreach bulletin board. The supplies that are needed are written on the smiley notes. Please take a smiley, purchase that requested item, and place it in the Wishing Well by February 2nd. All items will be part of a huge delivery to be made on February 6th to the five recipients mentioned above. Thank you so much for helping those in need in our community through this ministry. If you have any questions, please contact Jane McCartney at (717) 392-4844.
