The Food Bank continues to serve individuals and families throughout our community. Our food donations have been lighter than usual in recent weeks. If you are able, please consider bringing non-perishable food items to help keep the shelves stocked during the summer months. Food can be placed in the baskets in both the Parish Hall and Nave or in the rolling bin near the men's bathroom in the Welcome Center. 

August 2-8 is our congregation’s week to serve meals at the Salvation Army Center of Hope Night Shelter. There are five (5) evenings still open! This ministry provides not only a filling meal, but is also an opportunity to meet people in our community who are often treated as invisible. Volunteers are needed throughout the week to help prepare, serve, and share hospitality with residents. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Gary Kovar.
