April Special Benevolence Offering: Mount Zion Food Ministries
This ministry combines Chop and Peel, Compassion York Food Run, Ronald McDonald House and other food related programs. When food donations fall short, the necessary food items must then be purchased. This outreach ministry helps to fill the growing need in our community. Fifty percent of the people fed are children. Your financial gift will help those struggling to survive by providing one of the basics in life – food. You will give them hope – that someone cares, and your gift – may be an answer to a prayer. God bless you for your kind and generous spirit. ~ Missions Committee
One Great Hour of Sharing Offering is Sunday, April 3. Offering envelopes were included in your March Spirit. Additional envelopes will be available in the narthex.
Thank you for your gifts to our February Special Benevolence Offering: Northeastern Food Pantry. Receipts totaled $1,436.50.
Thank you for your donations to the CWS Clean-Up Buckets project. Because of your generous support, we will be able to send at least 12 buckets to disaster areas around the United States. Our goal was 10 buckets. Thank you so much!
Compassion Food Run
The Missions Committee is scheduled for another Compassion Food Run to help those who are less fortunate than us. The first meal for 2011 is scheduled for Sunday, April 17th.
For those willing to help with this need, sign-up sheets will be in the narthex for volunteers to cook and serve, as well as a sign-up sheet for those individuals willing to donate food items. If you plan to help with the cooking, please be at the church by 2:30 PM. Those who sign up to serve the meal should be at the church by 4:30 PM.
Thank-you again for your ongoing support.
