EXTENDING THE FEAST FOR LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES |
On the first Sunday of each month, we will be taking a collection for our local food pantries. This practice comes to us from the ancient church. In that time, after all of the people gathered together had eaten, a deacon would take food to people in need. The feast was extended! We hope to continue that tradition. The food pantry has asked for the following items: Toilet Paper
Soap-bar and laundry
Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Deodorant
Kleenex Tissues
Jelly
Cereal
Condiments
Hamburger Helper
Raymen Noodle Soup
Canned Goods—meat, veggies, fruit, etc.)
Disposable Diapers
Cake Mixes Please bring one or more of these items to worship the first Sunday each month.
