UPDATE: Due to the needs of the displaced residents from Second Avenue Commons downtown, the items collected for our Blessing Bags have been used to donate to the relief effort by Pittsburgh Mercy. Therefore, we will not be assembling Blessing Bags on July 7 as discussed. Thank you all for your generosity. The donations are going to those truly in need and we're grateful for your support in loving our neighbors! June 1 Update: Dear FPCE Family, We have not yet secured enough donations of items to assemble our Blessing Bags that we scheduled to put together tomorrow after church. We're going to spend the next month gathering the items needed so that we can create 100 bags to distribute to those in need in our community. The new Blessing Bag assembly date is Sunday, July 7 after worship. To help us better organize our donations and to allow others to see what is needed, we're going to again attempt to use SignUp Genius. I know, I know, we have not been successful doing this, but I PROMISE YOU it's easy! We use it for literally every event the choir and drama club at North Hills organizes for donations and volunteer times. No need for clipboards, or calling the office and having Judy keep track of it, no trying to remember what you signed up for, and you can go back to the link as often as you'd like to see who has signed up and what might be left as we get closer to the assembly day. You can even have the site send you a reminder about your sign-up. We've added a list of each item requested, put suggested sizes to purchase (10-packs, 48-packs, etc), and the number needed of each (10 sets of 10-packs). If you decide to donate an item, just sign up for the amount you plan to buy (ex: I'm buying 4 10-packs of toothpaste - so I sign up for 4 of the slots, then the form shows 6 remaining slots to fill.). We will close the sign-up form on Friday, July 5 so that anything left on the list can be purchased on Saturday before we assemble on Sunday. Thanks for your donations to this project that came from the generous spirit of our young friend Sophia. Peace, Shaun  FPCE is going to be building Blessing Bags on June 2 following the church service. These bags will be available for anyone to take and pass out to those in need. If you would like to make a financial donation please do so by May 26 or consider dropping off requested items (see list below) before June 1. If you have any questions, please email Tyler McGuigan at [email protected]
