The Have Mercy Challenge Widows Team has decided to "adopt" widows and widowers and do special things for them throughout the year. We have already had several people sign up to "adopt" at least 2 people. Because we have 37 widows and 5 widowers connected with our congregation, we are in need of other people who would be interested in helping. We sure don't want to leave anyone out!
Our group is already starting to reach out to their "adopted" friends and will continue to do so throughout the year. We've suggested things like taking them to lunch, sending cards, phone calls, visits, etc. We felt a short term project would not be as beneficial as one that is on-going.
Cheryl Beck is the team leader and has a list of names of people who haven't yet been adopted. Please contact her at 828-421-3820 if you are interested in being a part of this project.
