Grateful/Thankful/Blessed

We have so many people who bless us in times of joy and times of sadness with their time and talent; preaching, singing, praying, reading, ushering, greeting and serving in numerous ways, |

Wondering what to do with extra shopping bags?
If you’d like to donate them for Food Bank recipients, they would be most welcome!! The Food Bank no longer provides bags for people to use as they pack up their food hampers, and if people forget to bring bags it provides a challenge on getting their food home where it belongs!! Bring along your extra bags and leave them in a ‘FOOD BANK BAGS’ container in the Foyer! Thanks so much! |
