Update: Trailer secured!

God is in the details, right? Long story short, for those who don’t know, my friend was in a medically induced coma and I don’t want to share the details here, but I can share them with you later if you want to pray, anyways, their child left SIU to go back to Wisconsin thinking things were a matter of hours, if you know what I mean, and the car brakes stopped working so I had it towed for them (and they were driven home by someone else instead) and now they want to come get the car and bring it back to Wisconsin so somebody can fix it for free. It’s currently about $1500 to fix. The friends friend has a trailer, but it’s not big enough for the car which is currently sitting in Anna.
*They are in need of borrowing a trailer. A Uhaul car hauler isn't going to work unfortunately, but they are wondering if anyone at our church might have a slightly bigger car hauling flatbed trailer they could borrow or rent for the weekend to get the old Subaru home. I know there’s a lot of trust involved in this and you have Mark’s word and my word about the character of these people. Give it some prayer and let one of us know if you can help. For more details, please ask privately. God is good!

**Who would love to join me to volunteer here this summer? Reach out please! ~Paula

Hi Everyone!

Just a heads up that due to all the love you give us, we will not be able to accept any more donations this week.
Looking ahead we will be closed up front on Tuesday next week so that we can all work on the back area.
Regular hours of operation will resume on Wednesday.

We are praying for volunteers.
Please speak with your ladies church group, youth group or any of your ministry teams in your church's, ect.
Older people can always put things on hangers while younger people hang up.
Things like this would be very beneficial for us.

You would be amazed at what a relief it is to us for a few hours of your time volunteered.
It truly helps!

Dust off them couch potato days and spend the day with us at The Closet Ministries!
You would be doing the community and surrounding areas a HUGE difference.

Love ya"ll! We appreciate you.
