the shot. Information packets were mailed to homes by

and download the permission slip and all
other information pertaining to this campaign including

clinic dates are subject to change based on the availability
of the vaccine and children can only be vaccinated in the

Dorcas Project
The Dorcas Project has
been established as an outreach ministry of AICA to the
greater community on Aquidneck Island for the purpose of
sharing the love of Jesus Christ by means of providing
practical supplies for those in need. The project has
been so named after Dorcas, a God-fearing woman of the New
Testament who labored with her hands to make garments for
those in need. Her gifts of love and giving have
distinguished her as a disciple and servant of Christ, working
to do good to others. "At Joppa there was a certain
disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This
woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she
did." Acts 9:36.
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Community Center is a multi service agency providing food,
medical care, child care and emergency disaster services to
Newport County. Their food needs are high this
year due to the economy and the donations are
significantly off from last year. We would like to
make this Thanksgiving our focus for the 2009 Dorcas
Project. The MLK Center prepares Food Baskets to
over 200 families. Please offer some non-perishable
items toward this effort over the next few weeks. Here are
some suggestions:
Stuffing, Canned potatoes, Cake
Mix, Pie Crust, Beef Stew, canned Veggies, Bisquick, Rice,
soups, yams, mac&cheese, canned meats, fruits, pb&j,
cereal, pasta, juices, pudding, etc.
Simply bring
your donations to school beginning this week up until the
Monday before Thanksgiving and we will deliver them to the
center.
Proverbs for the Week
Watch over your
heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of
life.
Put away from you a deceitful mouth,
And put
devious lips far from you.
Let your eyes look directly
ahead,
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of
you.
Watch the path of your feet,
And all your ways will
be established.
Do not turn to the right nor to the
left;
Turn your foot from
evil.
Proverbs 4:23-27 |
