HELPING FAMILIES IN NEED
HELPING FAMILIES IN NEED
Our collection for the Thanksgiving gift cards will begin on Oct. 27th– Nov. 24th.
We will be giving gift cards to families who can use our help.
If you know of a family who can use a gift card to a local grocery store, please give the information to Cindy E. or the Church Office as soon as possible.
We need your help with money for the gift cards. Please put a check/cash in the offering plate (checks written to the church with Thanksgiving Gift Cards on the memo line).
We will give the cards to the families the week before Thanksgiving so they can purchase the food items they will enjoy.
