Thank you for your donations and help with the food distribution. We will bring an update in another post. The food cupboard, we continue to feed folks. It is getting into that time of year when we tend to distribute even more food. On the 16th of November, we will be assembling the Thanksgiving baskets. If you would like to be here to be a part of this wonderful outreach. We would love for you to help.
Last year, we were finished in about an hour and we did 25 baskets. Immediately after, we do deliver the baskets and it’s helpful to have people here to help with loading the cars. Please consider helping us.
Operation Christmas Child Boxes are on the table in the back. They have instructions with how to fill them. They are due back on Nov.12th.
Lunch and a movie will be on December 6th in the Fellowship Hall. I encourage you to come and bring your friends. The movie, “The Preacher’s Wife”. You may be interested in a little information about the filming of the story. Filming began in early January 1996. Trinity United Methodist Church in Newark, New Jersey, served as the Biggs’ New York City church.[3] The production leased the church, and began renovating it in February 1996. The interior was painted, new carpet laid, and the main doors repaired. The production team designed a pulpit and altar rails that more accurately reflected the design of Baptist churches. After filming, the church kept the pulpit, and the production crew worked with architects from the United Methodist Church to design and install rails more fitting of the Methodist style. Filming occurred there from March 11 to April 3, with about a quarter of the church’s membership hired as extras. (The church used the rental fees paid by the production to replace its boiler and HVAC system.—Wikipedia
Hunger is a real but often hidden problem in our community. More and more people are seeking help from food banks, shelters and emergency kitchens due to loss of employment, reduction in work hours, rising food costs and/or elimination of benefits. The USDA reports that in the United States more than 36.2 million people, including 12.4 million children live in “food insecure” households – meaning they don’t have dependable, consistent access to adequate amounts of nutritious foods to maintain good health. For the past several years, we have maintained a small emergency food pantry that operated out of the church. Listed below are suggestions for our food closet.
