Thanks to you who answered God’s call for Ark needs in September:  We are so grateful for those who have volunteered and done landscaping for the Ark facilities at 401 East Broadway and the interim Ark at 429 East Broadway. The buildings are looking good!  Thank you so much to the anonymous donors of very nice sheets, towels, linens, a large coffee maker, and pots and pans for the “little Ark’s” night watchman area and kitchen.
