Important Information

Worshipers need to bring non-perishable food items to the service for the offering.  Make plans to donate this offering to your local food pantry or shelter.  All monetary donations should go to the World Hunger Fund. The first Sundays in March and September each year, all undesignated offerings are allocated to the church’s World Hunger Fund as a way to focus on helping alleviate hunger, locally and worldwide.
