Six Weeks of Compassion 2021: Let Love Flow

For several years, Compton Heights Christian Church has dedicated six weeks in the summer to concentrate on several
outreach missions, and to learn more about some of the organizations we are supporting. This year, with Rev. Jacque’s
upcoming retirement we have divided the activities into four weeks in August ( 1,8,15, 22) and two in September (12,19.)
In August, we will learn about how our Week of Compassion Offering collected in the winter is helping in disaster
response and long-term recovery, as well as aid to refugees in camps around the world. We also will learn about our
ongoing relationship with a local ministry, Isaiah 58, and a global ministry site, Family Village Farm in India. We will
continue to bring our highlighters (not yellow) for Isaiah 58 along with any other special request they have for August.
We will receive donations for our support of children at Family Village Farm or King’s Matriculation School in India, and
during the break, we will prayerfully consider an additional gift to Week of Compassion.
In September, we will learn about the work of Church World Service and receive items for hygiene kits. We also will
learn about the unique Missouri Festival of Sharing that is an umbrella not only for Church World Service, but many
organizations helping in our state. For those who like to start shopping, below is the list of items for the hygiene kits.
We will start to receive them starting September 5. If you want to purchase all of the items for a kit, please put them
inside a gallon-size zip top plastic bag. (Toothpaste is added before shipping by WOC, so don’t include any in your kits.)
All loose items will be assembled into kits after September 19; volunteers to do this are welcome!
