Ecumenical Food Bank
 
We support the Ecumenical FoodBank located at Grace Lutheran Church, Somers Point, and it has been brought to my attention the FoodBank is in great need of food donations.
It is customary for us to make monetary donations on the first Sunday of each month. Normally these donations are used to purchase "goods" from the larger Community FoodBank of NJ, which at this time time, is in need as well.
This is the season to be thankful for all of our blessings. As Christians, part of our mission is to be mindful of those in need.
There is a BASKET for food donations located in the Narthex. Let us fill this basket abundantly
in Thanksgiving for our blessings and as our duty as Christians!
 
       "A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor."
                                                                                            Proverbs 22:9
