Social Concerns Announcements:
Our MOTHERS’ DAY INGATHERING for our local Crisis Center, “THE BRIDGE,” will begin on Saturday and Sunday, May 7/8 and extend through May 31. Needed items are: Tracfones & Minutes, Copy paper, Stamps, Cleaning buckets, Hair shampoo and conditioner, Toilet paper, Paper towels, Old cell phones, and Bottled water. The following Snacks are also requested: Granola bars, Rice Krispy treats, individually wrapped snacks, and cookies. You are invited to place these items in the bins provided in the narthex. If you prefer to make a monetary gift, please make our check out to “The Bridge” and drop it off at the church office. What a wonderful opportunity this provides for assisting these “mothers in need”!
EQUAL EXCHANGE FAIR TRADED PRODUCTS—coffee, tea, nuts, and chocolate bars—will again be available for purchase on the first two upcoming weekends---Saturday evening worship services on April 30 and May 7, and at the time of the Sunday morning worship services on May 1 and May 8. What a wonderful way this is to support third world farmers, so they can sell directly to consumers, providing them with a fair income that will help them care for their families and improve their communities!
Are you looking for another way to serve our Lord? FLC SOCIAL CONCERNS COMMITTEE is seeking new members. Come join a busy team that works to help others in the community and around the globe, and who truly desire to “Serve as Jesus Serves.” If this sounds like you, please contact Lynette Jennings, John Mark Nielsen, Jim Peterson, Trudy Hutton, Jess Fredericksen, or Eric Filows. Or—just come to our next meeting on Monday, May 16, in the church library.
Please note there is both a plastic and a wooden Receptacle for gifts to the WASHINGTON COUNTY FOOD PANTRY are available to receive your food donations at FLC at any time!
