COMMUNITY & CHURCH NEWS
Blessing Box Update
THANK YOU to all of you have signed up for the Blessing Box. There are still open dates this summer. Also, the back up pantry is bare. Please consider bringing more food so that we have enough to refill during the week.
Again, when you bring food, if the box is empty, go ahead and fill it. If you have leftover food it goes into the ivory colored cabinet in Gage Hall. You can fill the Blessing Box anytime, not just on the week you have signed up for.
THANKS, the need is growing.
We are looking for volunteers to:
  • Help usher the concert
  • Assist with setup/take down of Gage Hall for a meal (no cooking is requested). 
Volunteers get to attend the concert for free!
