It is that time of year again when we start thinking about the inevitable change in the temperature and start preparing for winter. Our neighbors in need also face this reality. Each fall, St. Matthew’s collects offerings of coins, paper money and checks to support our neighbors in our communities. This money goes to a A Friend in Need which is a local organization that provides emergency financial assistance to residents in Acton, Boxborough and Maynard. You can find jars to put your contribution in, in the welcome center at St. Matthew’s, or you can give HERE through our website by choosing the fund “A Friend in Need (Fuel)” in the drop down menu. Checks can be made out to St Matthew’s with A Friend in Need in the memo line.
We will be collecting the money in Fuel Jars starting on September 15th and will gather the jars at the AFIN table at the Festival of Sharing, Saturday, December 7th. The jars will be blessed in the worship service on Sunday, December 8th.
