The Women’s Ministry In-Reach Committee invites you to support Catherine’s House Inc., a women’s shelter.  Catherine’s House is supported by Catherine’s Thrift Store, which is located at 6509 Hwy 85 in Riverdale, GA.  Catherine’s is run by Rev Catherine Grimes, a faithful woman of God who operated the store completely by faith as she depends on God to supply her daily needs.

Rev Grimes has been given a vision to develop a community outreach center in the city of Riverdale that will be available to all men, women, and children.  Her goal is to empower men and women within the community, through various means, including computer classes, AA meetings, etc as well as with a resource and activity center.  Rev Grimes now feeds and clothes people in the community out of her own pocket; however, her funds are limited.  I am asking everyone to do one of three things to assist her ministry.

1.  Stop by the thrift store and shop around.  It is located at 6509 Highway 85 in Riverdale, GA.

2.  Purchase one of Rev Grimes canvass bags.  She states that these bags are Holy Ghost inspired – an idea given to her by God to help support the program.  You may purchase a small bag for $8 or a large bag for $10.  Contact Sister Regina Harris if you would like to purchase one or drop by the store.  These bags can be given as gifts to friends, coworkers, and family members to celebrate a special occasion or simply just to inspire.

3. Finally, if you know any laborers willing to volunteer their time to help complete the repairs on the house for the center, please contact Sister Regina Harris or stop by the store to inform Rev Grimes.

For questions and comments, please contact Sister Regina Harris.  To find out more about the Women’s shelter, visit CatherinesHouseInc.org
