Goodie Boxes to College Students from N&O
Nurture and Outreach Commission boxed up 32 boxes/shoeboxes and shipped or hand delivered to 17 children and 15 grandchildren of our members this past week. We included different snacks, an inspirational card with a wonderful poem by Sarah Starr, and two “Today’s Prayers” for them to use. When you talk with them next, be sure and ask them about the Goodie Boxes. We really enjoy doing this for our youth!

Freedom a la Cart provides a $15 toiletries bag to women who are being released from jail. Covenant members have been generous with support for these bags. We realize the need is still there and are asking for donations to continue this effort. If you wish to contribute, please make checks payable to Covenant and indicate "human trafficking toiletry bags" on the memo line.
CATCH COURT
We all have been challenged to raise awareness of human trafficking, a multi-billion dollar business second only to drug trafficking. For many years, Covenant members have been supporting programs for women who are trying to recover their lives especially through CATCH Court's program and Freedom a la Cart. Each month, we take lunch for 55 people to CATCH Court on the first Thursday. We invite you to attend Court, providing food for lunch and staying to observe the Court in session. It is also possible to help serve lunch and return to church rather than staying.
PRAYER SHAWL CIRCLE
The Prayer Shawl Circle has been knitting and crocheting shawls for over 17 years. Sometimes not every bit of the three skeins of yarn is used. The Circle is offering the leftovers to anyone who might like to knit a pocket prayer shawl. Yarn and directions are available. Check with Louise Davidson.
