Bag Mat Ministry

Hello Bag Matters,

The Times received the incorrect date of our Bag Mat workshop.
It is not scheduled for this Sunday.

We are still holding our workshops on the second Saturday of every month 9-2.
and will be meeting this month on Saturday March 14th.

We have a large stockpile of plastic bags. Please bring only flattened bags for now until we can catch up.

Damien Williams coordinator for the Homeless Coalition is our direct contact for the homeless. We have given out so far 10 mats and 10 Care Packs, back packs filled with essentials for the homeless.

Acadiana Home school Key Club used the Bag Mat Ministry as one of their projects this year. Guinness book of world records was contacted to see if there was a world record for making "PLARN".
When the answer was no the wheels turned and the fun began. They got together to have a competition making "Plarn" All the steps were used to produce 20 30" balls by 20 people in 45 minutes. The group cheered "Now We Will Break The Record Next Year!"

So lots going on with Bag Mat Ministry.

Don't forget that we can be used to get community service points.

We need everyone to help get more bags flattened.

Been doing Bag Mat Ministry for 5 years now and given 600 mats to the homeless through the ecumenical efforts of volunteers and organizations.
Thank you all so much!
Have a new mission to go with mats called Care Packs!
Need new or used back packs to be filled with essential items for the homeless.
