In addition to the bags that we bring each month, we have a garden that has been planted by volunteers. The produce is taken weekly to the Food Pantry during harvest as an extra blessing to the hungry in our community.
On top of our contributions to the local food pantry, we are also collecting non-perishable groceries for families within our congregation who are suffering during these tougher economic times. If you would like to donate, please leave them in the box outside Pastor Tina’s office.
If you have any questions about the food pantry, please contact Denise McKnight, [email protected].
Faithful Beginnings is a day school providing Christian education to kids in our community. We have classes for Infants through Kindergardeners. Our class for Infants will start this fall, and during the summer we do enroll lower-elementary age children.
If you’d like to learn more, please contact Pastor Tina, [email protected].
