Your manufacturer’s coupons are needed. Mosaic of Beatrice will accept coupons, Campbell’s Soup labels, and used stamps. Take what you need from your Sunday morning paper and give the rest to Mosaic. They appreciate you helping them!
Receiving Communion at St. Paul's
If you are a member of a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod congregation and wish to commune here for the first time, please see the Pastor or an Elder first. Persons who are baptized members of another denomination that is not in Altar or Pulpit fellowship are invited to come forward for a special blessing. Please, cross your arms over your heart indicating your desire to receive a blessing. Please announce for communion by indicating your intentions on the reverse side of the attendance sheet. (These will be gathered during the opening hymn.)
Food Pantry Needs
The F.C. Food Pantry needs your help. The pantry is dangerously low on supplies and would appreciate community support to resupply the cupboards. The need remains at a high level despite the decline in donations.
Food items needed: canned vegetables, dry pasta, canned fruit, juice, instant potatoes, box dinners, canned tuna, canned chicken, canned pasta meals, peanut butter, cereal and soup. Personal care items needed: diapers, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste.
Cleaning items needed: laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenex and household cleaning supplies.
This list of items that are needed has been posted in the church basement. Please help.
