In August we delivered 67 pounds of food to Second Harvest Food bank. Remember to bring in non-perishable food items the first Sunday of every month for the COW (Contribute Our Wealth) offering. We also take monetary offerings that are split between Second Harvest and Heifer International. Brookmeade’s effort to fight hunger!
Our new Time with Family Series is a flowers series! After finding vases while cleaning the Pastor’s office, we were inspired to put flowers on the worship table. During this series, we encourage you to bring flowers from your garden, your favorite flowers, or any other flowers near and dear to your heart and share their story with us in worship. The sign-up sheet can be found on the table in the fellowship hall.
