Springwood Presbyterian Church: Whitsett, NC

Springwood will host its first ever Barefoot Sunday on September 20th, 2009.  Members of the congregation will be challenged to leave their shoes at the door as an act of worship and selflessness.  All shoes collected will be donated to the Soles 4 Souls organization.  They collect any kind of shoes including athletic, dress, sandals, heels, work boots, cleats, dance, and flip flops as long as they are new or gently worn.  Even if you are not sure about their usefulness, please bring them anyway.  More than likely, they can be used.
 
Soles 4 Souls facilitates the donation of shoes which are used to aid those hurting worldwide.  The organization has coordinated relief efforts for the Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina victims netting over 1 million pairs of shoes donated for these disasters.  So be sure to clean out your closet and donate your new or gently used shoes.
