Lets be the hands & feet of Jesus, while we provide food to the hungry!

 

Advent:  Anticipating the Momentous      

The First Sunday of Advent is this Sunday!  We will be serving coffee & donuts beginning at 9:30am and continuing until service begins.  Please join us as we walk the journey and anticipate the momentous together!

Community Meal

This Sunday, we will be hosting the Community Meal, immediately after service.  Thank you to all who
volunteered to bring a dish to pass, and volunteered time to help!  Please bring all food to the Lower Level kitchen before service on Sunday.  This is a wonderful time to share a meal with others in the community.  Please plan on staying after service for this event!

As we move into the colder months, we want to be especially mindful of our local PADS shelter, and the wonderful work the volunteers do.

At this time, (and often actually), they are in need of the following items:

Breakfast meats                     Coffee                                   Sandwich bread

Chips                                       Snack Crackers                   Breakfast bars
Fruit Snacks                           Jugs of Juice

 If you are able to help provide some of these, please drop the items off at the PADS shelter (1120 Canal St.), or bring them to church, where Judy Foster will collect them and deliver them to PADS.  Thank you!
