Deacons

The Deacon’s pantry is still need, and we are asking for some help.  Please if you are able, we need canned items like soup, veggies, canned meats, pasta, pasta sauce, personal hygiene items, cleaning items, paper products, cake mixes, puddings, Jell-O’s, rice, box dinners, even cash or gift cards.  We have helped several families over the summer, and the shelves have been depleted so any help would be great.  So, during the month of October, we will be doing a food drive to help fill the shelves in preparation for the Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays.  You can bring in your items and place them in front of the sanctuary and we can watch the collection grow.  Thank you for any help and God Bless.

Message from Missions

Our mission committee continues to look for ways to spread God’s love. Our last quarter’s mission giving was for the Marion Mission Wells. We raised $200 to go towards the creation of a much needed well in Africa. Thank you to all who supported this very worthy cause!

This quarter we are raising money for our local “Shop With a Cop”. This is a wonderful tradition and we look forward to helping that continue.
