Mission Committee Project

The Mission Committee is
partnering with Jim Billups from To God Be the Glory Food Pantry in a special project. We talked about helping families in the local area once a month with milk, eggs and juice. These are items that people who have asked for help from the church often cite as not being provided by the food pantries. So once a month we would ask you to help us by buying milk, juice, and eggs (amounts to be provided at a later date/email) so that we can have Jim pick them up once a month on a particular day for delivery to the families in our scope. If you are interested in being part of this either on the purchasing or coordination on the delivery day each month, please speak to Debbie or Pastor Sung.

Crop Walk — October 16

Save the date if you are
interested in participating in the crop walk. We are going to walk the Walkway Over the Hudson. Please speak to Pastor Sung for more info.
