YOUTH SWEATER DRIVE It’s getting cold outside! Bower Hill Youth are collecting new and gently-used sweaters for the “Mister Rogers Neighborhood Sweater Drive.” The drive, conducted by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh in collaboration with Presbyterian Media Mission, will help people who need to keep warm this winter. You may drop off new and gently used sweaters of all sizes in the church Narthex between now and December 10.
All sweaters collected will be distributed to families in need with assistance from Sweater Drive partners: the Presbyterian churches of the tri-state area, the Homeless Children’s Education Fund, the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh Ambassadors: Kids at Heart, and other agencies who work with families and children in the region. ——————————————————————————————————————————- On Sunday, December 25, the church will hold a worship service; however, there will be no children’s programming and the nursery will be closed, in order to give the staff and volunteers time to spend with their families.
