Ditty Bag Assembly
November 7, 2021 @ 11:30 am - 12:45 pm
Thank you for your generous donations that were collected throughout the month of October. Now it is time to assemble them into Ditty Bags. Christ Church is committed to providing 25 Ditty Bags to the Seamen’s Institute and we need your service-loving hearts to help.
Assembly will take place after the 10:15am worship service on November 7th (approx. 11:30am) in the well venhilated Mussleman Hall.
These bags will go to Seafarers in the upcoming holidays who are living on cargos ships, often isolated and unable to return home to their families for months. Seafarers work hard to bring us goods and produce from all over to world to the Delaware River Ports.
