WOW! ! ! We are off to a good start. I was afraid no one would remember the start of the food drive since we did not have church on 1-5-25. But you proved me wrong, as we collected 83 lbs of food and $450 dollars, for a total of 533. Keep up the good work. We will collect food/money thru 2-9-25. So you still have time to bring donations.

Unfortunately, the Benevolent checking and giving are not in as good of shape. Benevolent giving for December was $2,840 leaving us with a starting benevolent checking balance of $2,000. Please continue to prayerfully consider your giving in the new year!
