The Fruit of the Spirit Food Pantry... It takes a village:  We can have a mission service right here in our own community!  Help! To make the Fruit of the Spirit Food Pantry happen the following needs to happen...

Collection of the following items: (**in need of )

Cannned meats-tuna, chicken, salmon, stew, chili, etc.

**Canned soups, ravioli, spaghetti

Canned fruits, and vegtables

Peanut butter and jelly

**Pastas to include macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper, rice dishes

**Pasta sauce

Bisquick and other mixes

**Healthy cereals and instant oatmeal

Non food items: deodorant, soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes

**Monetary donations to be used for food vouchers at Comet

Drop off items in the church garage.  Prayers are appreciated.  We want to show the community that we serve with the fruits of the spirit.  The pantry will be available to anyone in the community anytime the office is open.  We would like to staff the pantry with volunteers in the evening, so the community  has contact with children of God! Anyone wanting to decorate the garage with the fruits of the spirit is welcome. It is currently being cleaned out and set up.  If you are called to give, a suggestion would be to place an item or items each week on your own grocery list or donate monetarily a set amount in your budget (even if it is a dollar...there is a box for this either in the office or at the welcome table).

Please forward this info to any family or friends you feel would want to serve as well.This does not have to just be a church mission, but a community one!!!!!  A big special thank you already to those that have helped get to this point... The Council, Pastor, Laura, Jenna, Clyde,  Kay, Comet Warehouse, and God!

Comet will be monitoring the vouchers and reporting any misuse.

Thank you in advance. May God bless this ministry if it is His will.
