Service

At Washington Street, we seek to grow in our discipleship through ministries of justice and mercy in the church and in the world.  Our time, our talents, and our treasures are all rightly used to glorify God as we become Christ's hands and voice throughout the world. 
 
Please join us as we seek to embody God's love through our service!
 

Health Kit Collection

Throughout the month of May, we are collecting health kits to support the work of the United Methodist Committee on Relief.  A completed health kit includes the following placed in a sealed, one-gallon plastic bag:
  • 1 hand towel (15” x 25” up to 17” x 27”. No kitchen towels)
  • 1 washcloth
  • 1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
  • 1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
  • 1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
  • 1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)
  • 6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
  • $1.00 to purchase toothpaste

You are invited to bring either completed kits or parts to be assembled later.  There will be a box in the Yingling Room for your donations.
