The Power of the “Little Brown Jug”

Each Sunday, parishioners at The Church of Our Saviour The Redeemer pass by a “Little Brown Jug” on their way to communion. The money raised through “The Little Brown Jug” is designated monthly for various outreach initiatives.

One of our outreach initiatives through the “Little Brown Jug” was in support of Sleeping Children Around the World, a global community of volunteers and supporters giving hope and joy to children in need by providing bed kits for a good night’s sleep. We are thrilled that one of our parishioners, Norma Rookwood, went to Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania helping to distribute these bed kits. This is not Norma’s first-time distributing kits and she assures us it will not be her last.

We are so grateful for the generosity of our parish in making contributions through the “Little Brown Jug”. One of our parishioners, Connie Hamilton, also sold Christmas ornaments to raise funds. Through the “Little Brown Jug” we have been able to contribute to other outreach efforts such as The Bishop’s Company, Operation Smile, The Fistula Foundation, St. Matthew’s House, the Diocese of the Arctic. Together we are able to reach far beyond our church walls and show the world Jesus’ love.
