St. Mary's Meeting
Monday at 12:00 AM
From September 25 to September 27 2024, thousands of communities in Western North Carolina (Asheville in particular) experienced catastrophic flooding as a result of Hurricane Helene. Many there remain without electricity, water, gas, and cell/internet service. If you’d like to make a monetary donation to assist those in need, consider Episcopal Relief & Development (ERD). For more than 80 years, ERD has worked with an extensive network of faith-based and secular partners to provide emergency relief and long-term support in disasters. Click the button below to donate.
The wonderful Getting Ahead community program that helps ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) individuals move from dependency to self‐sufficiency through education, self‐assessment, and mentoring experience.
Sessions are held every other Tuesday evening, September through December, with help needed:
The Getting Ahead Program is held at the ERUCC (Evangelical Reformed, United Church of Christ), 15 West Church Street. Set-up begins at 5:15 pm, food is to be dropped off by 5:30 pm, and our assistance ends at around 6:15 pm. We are requesting ministries, families, or other groups of our All Saints community to coordinate amongst their groups to provide the meal (entrées, side dish, salad, dessert, or snacks) and/or assist with serving/clean-up. Previously we have had wonderful participation from families, groups and committees; the outpouring of this support was greatly appreciated by the Investigators and the United Way. One of the Facilitators said of All Saints, “We are amazed and humbled that people are taking time out of their busy lives to do this for people they do not even know.
We are grateful for the commitment of your members to help these individuals improve their quality of life.” If you want to help, have questions, or are interested in assisting with managing this program, please contact Katy Ackland ( ) or Betty Briese-Ludwig ( ). Ministry leaders - be on the lookout for a call or email to request your team’s help with this important opportunity.
