[Dear] Angola United Methodist Church:
Thank you! We really appreciate the donation of sleepers, onesies,
outfits, diapers and many other items. We are excited to share that
19 babies were born so far this year to mommies of the CPC ministry.
Your support makes it possible for their parents to earn things they
need. Bless you for giving. From all of us at the CPC, thank you for
being a “Friend For Life.”

REPORT FROM THE FAITH SOUP KITCHEN
We are still serving many people here in Angola through our Faith
Soup Kitchen. Our average is between 150 and 160. We had many new
people who came in on July 17. I want to thank our soup makers as
well as those who give money to support this mission.
During the month of June, the following made soup—Mary Clark, Leona
Tilbury, Deb Koopman, Larry Bolman, Sarah & Larry Ashley, Sandy &
Guy Rhoades, Margaret Smith, Myrna McCracken, Jan Wilson (made 4
roasters), Mary Clark, 6 women from the Episcopal Church and Jan
Berger.
During the month of July, the following made soup—Mary Clark, Leona
Tilbury, Deb Koopman, Jan Berger (made 4 roasters), Margaret Smith,
Dot Tubergen and Jan Ryan (again making 4 roasters). Thank you!
Thank you to all of the soup makers.
I am asking for monetary gifts also. The soup costs around $90—$100
each week for all of the ingredients. We also buy paper
products—containers, lids, spoons, napkins, crackers and sacks. As
we can see, we do need money to pay for the cost of the Faith Soup
Kitchen. You can send your money to Jan Harmon marked for Soup
Kitchen. Thanks for any help you might be able to give.
We always need soup makers. Please give me a call at 495-0176 if you
are willing to do so.
God is working miracles through this mission!

FAITH COMMUNITY CLINIC, INC.
Something is new in Steuben
County that responds to a long-standing problem. The problem is
adequate healthcare for people without insurance who fall between
the medical cracks. This is a situation we’ve been working on for a
long time—a clinic sponsored by people of faith from many churches
in our community.
We’ve made much headway in doing all the steps necessary for such a
project: board formation, not-for-profit status, a location for the
clinic, help from Steuben County Foundation to get started,
co-clinic directors and a medical director.
Holy Family Episcopal Church has recognized the problem and will be
including a location for a free medical clinic in their building
expansion program. We are now seeking your
financial help so we can commence clinic operation in early 2008.
Although everyone volunteers their time and effort, supplies and
equipment must be purchased. Please send your donations to Faith
Community Health Clinic, Inc., P.O. Box 972, Angola, IN 46703.
If you should have any questions please contact Ed Ludington,
Executive Board President, at 665-9392.
