Outreach/ Missions
By adopting a bag of food your whole family can be involved in serving together. Just shop and fill a bag, that will be provided, with the items and quantities from a list that you will be given. Then, return your filled bag to the church. These bags of non perishable food items will be given to those in need as an ongoing ministry. You can choose to fill a bag once a month or once every three months. Sign up sheets, bags and lists will be available between services in the Narthex and at the church office. Please help us in this effort to reach out with the love of Christ to others in our community. There is a container in the Narthex for your donation or you can give it to Carol Campbell or Melissa Smith. Thanks to all for your generosity!
