Thank you for providing Gifts for Wellroot Ministry
Mats for the Homeless Ministry
The mats on the altar were crocheted from plastic grocery bags. They serve as an extra layer of protection from the elements when homeless people sleep on the ground. The mat placed underneath a blanket helps keep the blanket dry while offering a little cushion from the cold, wet ground.
Several churches are represented in the mat-making project that meets at the Community Achievement Center on Flat Shoals Parkway in Decatur. Among the dedicated participants are several Clifton ladies, Eugenia Bell, Ella Hicks, Renee Howard, Vera Jones, Velma Larkins, and Jamie White. We thank God for their faithfulness to this ministry. We also pray God will watch over the homeless in our community, providing for their needs and keeping them safe. May we all share our resources of time, talent, and treasures so those lacking in their share may be showered with God’s abundant blessings.
Lady T’s Homeless Ministry
One of the ways Clifton serves the community is by partnering with Lady T’s Homeless Ministry. “Lady T” also known as Teresa Hamilton has been called an “Everyday Hero” in Dekalb County. Her ministry to the homeless includes entering the places where even the police fear to tread. Lady T provides food, toiletries, sleeping mats, tents, etc. Several churches have specific tasks to aid in this ministry. Clifton has been assigned the preparation of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches one Wednesday a month. Our prep date has fluctuated. Vera Jones, our Outreach Chairperson keeps us informed of our next assignment. Be sure to check Clifton’s newsletters.
