Come Fill a Bag on October 20, 2024!

Grab your cup of coffee and come fill a Blessing Bag directly after church during Coffee Hour on October 20, 2024. What is a Blessing Bag?If you’re new to a church, it is a continuing ministry our
congregation has undertaken to provide a bag of basic essentials to those in need in our community. After collecting the donated items listed below, we will gather as a church family on October 20th and assemble the bags, including an encouragement card, which will then be given out with caring to those without shelter this fall.

What can you do to help? Between now and October 13th, you can drop off your items. Our greatest needs at this time are Deodorant, Body Wipes, Pouches of Tuna or Chicken Salad, Mini FirstAid Kits and Beef Jerky or Meat Sticks. The full list of needs will be posted Sunday October 6th in Church. Our congregation is always so generous, and we are looking forward to continuing our message of giving and kindness through this service project. Thank you so much!
