"Faith That Feeds"
We believe that faith should feed and nurture our spirits.
We believe also that faith should lead us to feed people
in the many different ways they hunger,
both physically and spiritually.

The Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, November 15, 2026
Service at 10:30 am
| | Our readings during November speak of the end times. Zephaniah proclaims that the coming day of the LORD will be filled with wrath and distress. Paul says it will come like a thief in the night and urges us to be awake and sober. Jesus tells the parable of the talents, calling us to use our gifts, while we still have time, for the greater and common good. In a world filled with violence and despair, we gather around signs of hope—word, water, bread, and wine—eager to welcome the good news of Christ’s coming among us. | | | |

Thank you all for your participation in SNAPGap this year! Beginning in September 2025, through our partnership with you and Vineyard Food Pantry, we have served more than 2,300 people with over 8,800 rolls of toilet paper and countless other items, such as garbage bags, shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, and laundry sheets.
Over the past year we have learned the demands of the activities and have restructured for this season. Now, we are bagging up items on Tuesday for distribution on Wednesday.
This SignUp Genius link is for volunteer opportunities through March 2027. I think you might enjoy volunteering in this well-run food pantry, along with a host of young people from high schools and colleges around the area. We'd love to see you!
Warm regards,
The SNAPGap Team
