*******************
The Hudson Free Store has opened at 307 W Main Street in Hudson. Brenda Walters from the Concord Free Store in Concord, Michigan has worked with Kay Bigelow to organize and supply the Hudson Free Store. Just as the name implies everything; clothing, household items, books, games and puzzles are free.
For the last two years Kay has set up a free clothing giveaway several times a year at the Methodist Church but will now have a permanent setting. She will be looking for volunteers to work and man the store. An experienced grant writer is also needed.
They plan to be open Mondays and Thursdays from 3 till 6 and Saturdays from 9 till noon. Stop by and wish them well.

UNBOUND MINISTRY
What is UNBOUND? A vital part of the new evangelization because, through a simple method of prayer based on the Gospel, it helps us (and helps us to help others) move beyond our spiritual obstacles into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
