Wednesday Food Bank Distribution: Today and each Wednesday beginning at 5 p.m., our volunteers distribute boxes of pre-packed food into people’s trunks. If you or someone you know could benefit, do not hesitate to come/invite them to the church to come & receive. A big thanks goes out to the volunteers who help collect, organize, and distribute the food. We will continue such distributions on Wednesdays going forward. If you would like to help out in some manner (including helping with pickups from grocery stores 4 mornings per week), don’t hesitate to let us know!

May God bless us as we partner with him in faith through our finances.
