CHURCH WORLD SERVICE: A RAINBOW OF CARING The Church World Service blanket drive is heldtypically in connection with Mother’s Day in May. These familiar gray wool blankets arrive in areas where victims have lost homes, families, and hope. The Tools of Hope Program creates a rainbow of help and hope each time the right tool is placed in the hands of people in need. If it empowers people and brings better tomorrow, it’s a tool of hope! A simple truth: ordinary things that we often take for granted like…blankets, clean water, education, tents, garden tools, seeds – can make a world of difference for people devastated by tragedy, as well as those working to build a better life for themselves and their community. Many congregants are often part of this beautiful rainbow of caring. Payson Park Church responds each year to this mission initiative. “I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me.” Matthew 25
