Cereal Sunday With the changes
that have occurred in the economy, Five loaves, the food pantry that our
local missions supports, has informed us that they are seeking increased
numbers of people and families asking for food. When we inquired about their need, we were
told one item that was frequently requested, but they did not have the funds
to but was dry cereal. The
Missions Ministry, with the support of the Session, has designated the first
Sunday of each month as “Cereal Sunday”.
Please bring a box (or boxes) of any type dry cereal and place it in
the grocery basket in the Narthex. We
will see that it is transported to the food pantry. We had
the first “Cereal Sunday” in December with only one week’s notice to the
congregation, and had a good response.
For the sake of those who need our help, we hope that subsequent first
Sundays will see an overflowing grocery basket to be transferred to the food
pantry. |

And Jesus came and said to them, "All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, to the close of the age." - Matthew 28:18 – 20
