Provider’s Pantry Ministry
Menus for March are available in the information centers and on our web-site.
The deadline is Friday, March 16th at 4 PM.
You will notice we use a new name for our food ministry, but you can expect food and service as good as or better than before. We will be getting our shipments from a source closer to home. Instead of being shipped from Georgia, our foods will be coming from Affiliated Foods in Amarillo. Specials will now be available at or below the price we have been paying, and there will be no limits on the number of specials we can order. There is one temporary hitch which we hope to be able to overcome quickly. Until new connections can be made, we will be unable to process Lone Star Cards for food orders. We hope this can be solved before our deadline Friday, March 16th, but it may take a bit longer to get ready for this service. With God as our guide and your wonderful support, we pray our ministry will grow.
Thanks
* Thank you for the balloons and Coca Cola that you sent Abigail in the hospital. The balloons helped pass the time, and the coke was a great refreshment for the parents. Thank you for the prayers on her behalf most of all. It’s great to be a part of such a loving Christian family.
