OutReach


Ash Wednesday Pot luck was a success, everyone seemed to have a good time and
there was lots to eat. Pastor Dave conducted a well attended and very moving Ash Wednesday service following dinner.

Outreach is working on ten baby kits, with the help of Marge Mertz and her fabulous baby sweaters, we are making progress. We still need baby undershirts. Our coin collection for Haiti is going well and we will conclude the effort next weekend. All monies collected will be sent to UMCOR for relief.

The Food Pantry has been very busy with forty plus families representing 111 individuals. That‘s a lot of food folks. Carol and I would like to thank the people doing milk and food pick up for us, it helps so much especially with both of us having back problems. Carol has hung a white board on the pantry
door with needed items. Every donation is appreciated but if you‘re looking for ideas, check the door. We always need meat, poultry, cheese. fruit (if fresh, please get apples, oranges, clementines as they last the longest) Hamburger helper or any ―meal in a box is needed. Cash donations provide milk, eggs, margarine and protein.

Challenge for the month of March. Visit someone who is alone, it‘s a long winter and a visit can brighten a day. Invite them to church, there is always something going on. You won‘t win a cash prize or a new car but it could provide better seating in the ―here after.

Remember --
"Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can."
