OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES

The Outreach Committee is assisting a local family in need (single mother and 4 children). From time to time, they take a basket of hygiene and food items to the family. If you would like to contribute to the basket, they will have a box by the Sunday School coffee area downstairs on the Sundays they are collecting items.

Please remember our "homebound" members and our members in nursing homes. Their addresses are available in your new Church directories, or in the church office. Make a phone call, send a card, keep in touch with these people. If you know of a name that should not be on this list, please call the church office and let us know, and/or if you know of someone who should be on this list, please let us know.
