Food Pantry Sunday
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:02 pm (About Our Church, General, Missions, Pastor Notes)
Each month on Communion Sunday (which is usually the first Sunday of the month except in September, when it is the second Sunday of the month) we will celebrate the ministry of the Food Pantry by having a special collection. For the weeks prior to the collection we will list in the Bulletin any specific needs the pantry has. Of course you are welcome to bring your contributions at any time, but we will take a special collection on Food Pantry Sunday.
There will be a box to collect your donations at the doors when you enter the sanctuary. During the first hymn, the children and youth of the church will bring the gifts forward and put them before the communion table. In this way we hope to make the contributions visible, and help our children to learn about this important ministry of our church and community.
