FOOD PANTRY
We are open from 10AM to 1PM Every Thursday & the Last Saturday of Every Month. Pre-Packed Bags, along with Extra Donated Items are available once a month. Please remember to bring some form of verification of residency. Call the Church Office for more information or stop in for assistance. A special
thank you to one and all in the community that have provided
various donations and support to our food pantry!
2020-2021 CHURCH THEME
We will continue to explore the Old Testament until Lent 2021. Our Worship Services may look a little different than they have in the past, as we are not exploring the Traditional Gospel Readings.
Come learn & explore with us!

Please do your best to continue keeping in touch with one another.
Call each other, talk with one another, and pray with one another.
In the darkness and loneliness, we all sometimes need someone to talk with.
