Our next community dinner will be on October 27th. It will be a pancake supper. We will have a sign-up sheet available this week after service for folks to understand what’s needed and what tasks still need to be filled.
Food Pantry: God continues to bless others because of your generosity! Fresh produce, pasta, flour, oil, dish detergent, laundry detergent, and produce are the primary needs at this point. If you can donate some of these items this week, you can bring them during regular pantry hours or contact the church to arrange a drop-off time. Please consider volunteering some time to help with deliveries if possible.
Please consider driving for Food Pantry deliveries. It would help greatly to have more members of our church make the deliveries. If you can give 30 minutes to this task, it would help. It could be Sunday as you go home after church or as soon as you leave pantry volunteer time. We can accommodate any time you like. Please prayerfully consider if this can be a way that you serve God.
Trunk or Treat: First Church will be having a Trunk or Treat in our parking lot on Halloween night! Stop by the church parking lot while you’re out trick or treating for more incredible Halloween candy and fun! If you’re interested in using a parking space or having a table, contact Pastor Scott.
