Come Fill a Bag on October 20,2024!

BY ALISON PEIRCE

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 20th, you can shop for INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED FOOD ITEMS and TRAVEL-SIZED TOILETRIES. Once you have purchased your supplies, you can drop them off at the church. There will be a trunk labeled BLESSING BAGS in Globe Hall. 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
