CHURCH NEWS               

                                             Lenten Food Drive

This year we’re going to provide a “grocery list” of items needed for HELP House and Needline.  You may pick up your grocery list and a bag in the vestibule of the church.  You may fill your bag at your own pace throughout the Lenten season (one item per week, or all at once).  It could even become a part of your devotion to Christ during this sacred time.  Once your bag is full, you can return it anytime before or on April 4th to the church office  (or the hallway outside of the church office).

Thank you for your commitment to Christ and His people!
