    The food pantry is open every Wednesday from 10 to 11 a.m. to serve the community.

    This week, we served 45 families and 96 people.

    We need plastic bags and (dozen only) egg cartons this week. Please bring them to church Sunday. Thanks for your help.

    ►Caregivers needed 

    We are excited to announce that Brenda’s health has been improving, and she moved in with us last week. We know this will be a big adjustment for all of us and we covet your prayers. So far we have made arrangements for home health services, but we are also looking to hire caregivers to assist her and provide companionship when we won’t be with her. If you can recommend someone, please keep in touch through Phil’s number, 251-213-6505.
