BLESSING BAGS
The pandemic has magnified some of the tremendous needs of people who are living on the margin. To help out, our church distributes bags of non-perishable groceries every other Saturday to people in our community who are in need. These “Blessing Bags” are supported by food donations through the church. For more information, or if you would like to help support this ministry, please contact the church office.
