Last sunday offering |
|
At St. Andrew's the loose plate offerings on the last Sunday of each month are given to an organization chosen by our Outreach Committee. Donations for the Last Sunday Offering can also be sent directly to the office.
February Recipient: Dismas House in Manchester, NH
Our world today has many displaced people who end up in prisons or correctional facilities. We are not always as understanding and welcoming of other people’s problems or issues as we might be, instead focusing only on our own needs. Paying attention to those in need is part of our responsibility to perform God’s work. Many of those who need help are incarcerated women right here in NH and what is very disturbing is that almost half of women released end up back in prison. Dismas Home of New Hampshire is a state licensed, 90-Day, Low Intensity, Residential Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation and Reentry Program. Their two-phase 90-Day program meets and exceeds the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria. Dismas Home partners with residents to rebuild, transform, reorganize, and adjust their lives around recovery and sobriety so they may discover the joy of truly living a healthy and empowered life.
