Turning

the Tide

Is a ministry that the First United Methodist Church in Griffin started to assist people in the community. Many people, unfortunately, are unable to afford to clean their clothes. The “Turning the Tide” ministry uses a local Laundromat in Griffin every Friday night to hand out Tide Pods and quarters for people to wash their laundry.  Some people bring all their clothes they own and even take the shirt off their back to wash. The children have decided to support this ministry as their service project for the year. We have decorated a Tide laundry bottle and basket to place in the lunch room.  We are going to fill the basket with cookies and fun size candy for all SGES students to buy for a quarter. Students may also donate money without a purchase. When we fill our Tide bottle, the students are going to count the quarters and turn the proceeds into Griffin First Methodist to assist with this ministry. We would appreciate any assistance with our service project. We will need parents to assist us in providing candy and cookies for our project. If each family could send in 2 or 3  bags of fun size candy, we should have enough to use for the next three months. The children are very excited.  Thanks for all you do and your support!
