Food Pantry & Hospital Snacks
Due to the Holidays’, our Food Pantry is extremely low. Items with long shelf life are needed. Each week, please remember to place a donation of foods (canned, dried) and snacks (individually wrapped) in the bins in the foyer in support of our food pantry and hospital waiting rooms. No “out of date” items can be distributed; with cans, “pop tops” preferred. Food Pantry item(s) for January; Canned Goods, Cereals, Pasta, etc. Thank you.
Monthly Core Value Emphasis
This month, we highlight Prayer as one of our core values. Prayer changes things. Prayer (and fasting) brings results. The powerful passionate prayer of a virtuous person has many benefits. Have you answered the summons to prayer? Why not make this core value a priority for this New Year?
