Castle Rock’s Container for Lithuania Arrived at Destination
Three months ago, Orphan Grain Train Castle Rock loaded this container and sent it on its way to Lithuania with God’s blessing. It has arrived and its distribution of the items within will begin. The distribution of this shipment will take place at the center established by the diaconie “Jurbarko sandora”. Support will be provided to the Jurbarkas Women’s Crisis Center, aiming to assist women who are facing difficult life circumstances, as well as to children’s day care centers in Skirsnemunė, Smalininkai, Vilkyškiai, and Garliava, where care is provided for children’s engagement, social skills development, and emotional well-being. Support will also be provided to parishioners experiencing social exclusion or temporary hardships who are in need of material assistance. Thank you, OGT Castle Rock volunteers for time you spent putting together the more than 100 boxes of linens and blankets, the clothing for men, women and children and the 15 bicycles. Thank you also for including the eight boxes of school supplies and backpacks, just in time for another school year.
The whole earth is filled with awe at Your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, You call forth songs of joy.
Psalm 65:8 NIV
