Matthew 25:36, 40 “I was naked and you clothed me…as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to me.”
August is upon us, and underwear is on sale, so once again Reformation Lutheran is working with the Needlework Guild of America (NGA) to collect NEW underwear and socks. NGA is a grassroots charity dedicated to providing NEW toiletries, linens, and clothing (that’s TLC) for new tomorrows. We serve 11 agencies in Delaware and Chester Counties: Baptist Children’s Service, Bernadine Center. CADES, Chester Co. Domestic Violence Center, City Team Ministries, Delaware County Pregnancy Center, Fair Acres Geriatric Center, Inglis Foundation, Salvation Army, Seaside Home (NJ) and Simpson House. (Last year, Reformation provided 338 much needed items.) For further information, please contact Sally Burkam, 610-566-8737.
The NGA Prayer
Father of all Mercies: We are clothed, we are fed, we are sound in mind and body. In gratitude for these great blessings we offer material things to those less fortunate. Add Thy blessings, we beseech Thee, to the work of our hands and hearts, so that each garment may carry to the wearer not only decency and warmth, but courage, comfort, and hope for brighter days. Amen.
