ROW 13 WINES--WOOD ON WINE JUNE NEWSLETTER AND SOME RETIREMENT NEWS

FROM THE MAILBOX...

A reader asks: I have an old and still working beautifully, Singer sewing machine I no longer use and would like to do donate it. Are the Methodists still collecting these?

Response: Asbury used to collect sewing machines (and bicycles) under an initiative known as PEDALS FOR PROGRESS. To my knowledge, the last PEDALS FOR PROGRESS collection was in 2019 at Asbury and was coordinated by Croton Lay Interfaith (see EverythingCroton: PHOTO ALBUM & NEWS FROM THE 2019 PEDALS FOR PROGRESS BIKE & SEWING MACHINE COLLECTION)

You can always check with Asbury directly--be aware---they have a new website hosting here

CONFIDENTIAL TO: INQUIRING MINDS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.....

Response: Sorry but not many can recommend the site in question. Doing your own due diligence, however, is the best recommendation. You'll probably reach the same conclusion.

A reader asks: There was some Presbyterian(?) Protestant evangelism ad from the 50's here? Can't find it again???

Response: You may mean this--Lutheran 1956: EverythingCroton: FROM THE MAILBOX, 1956 LUTHERAN EVANGELISM MISSION
