The Emergency Shelter is always in need of sack meals to give out to folks and we want to help: we are challenging households to make 10 sack meals during Lent!
Each sack should include a PB&J sandwich and some non-perishable items like chips, fruit cups, granola bars, or other items. You can deliver them yourself to the new Emergency Shelter location - or - we'll deliver these for you on Thursday March 30th if dropped off at church by 11 a.m.

One Great Hour of Sharing
February 22- April 9
|
During Lent, we celebrate that God connects with us through Jesus’ resurrection, and connects us with “those who have least.” One Great Hour of Sharing is the single, largest way that Presbyterians come together to work for a better world by advancing the causes of justice, resilience, and sustainability.
Every time we set the table where all hungry hearts can eat;
every time we welcome neighbors and we add and extra seat;
and every time we live as servants,
free to wash each other's feet,
In our living, in our giving,
we are there.
