3000 Acts of Kindness - Bag Purchasing
Let's show some Christmas love in our city again this year!
Here is our chance to show some Christmas love to people in the Minneapolis area again this year! We want our church family to give generously in two ways: 1) towards the purchase of laundry bags 2) of our time as we serve at the 3,000 Acts of Kindness event in December.
This year the 3000 Acts of Kindness team has asked us to partner by providing 4,000 large and sturdy laundry bags for the guests. Guests of 3000 Acts are blessed with so many great items and carrying all of those items can be difficult. These bags will be a tremendous blessing to each guest. You can purchase bags at any time on the church app by selecting "Give", then "Church Initiative Deductible" or join us in the foyer after all services between November 2nd-17th.
1 Bag $15 30 Bags $250
5 Bags $65 50 Bags $350
10 Bags $100 75 Bags $500
Please stop at the tables in the foyer for assistance with your purchase and write personal notes of encouragement to be distributed with the bags for each of the event guests.
(Sign up HERE to help staff these tables)
3,000 Acts of Kindness, a one-day event on December 9, 2024, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, provides a day of hope and dignity to ask many as 4,000 homeless individuals in the Twin Cities. The event will provide each guest with a meal, haircut, necessities (i.e. toiletry kits, winter jackets, hats), and access to agencies and services.
We need hundreds of volunteers again this year to prep for and provide the day of hope and dignity to the Twin Cities homeless community. Plymouth Covenant Church has been a great support of this event in the past and the need is even greater this year. Let's show up big from PCC!
Sign up HERE to set up on Sunday December 8th or to serve at the event on Monday December 9th!

They are anticipating the day when their child will make a personal commitment to love, follow, and serve Jesus.

We can honor God, treat people well, and make a significant difference in a hurting world if we lean into our values and trust our powerful God who has a remarkable future for us.
