Janelle Middleton, Executive Director of CAP, expressed an immediate need for items to restock their shelves for needy families.  The following staples are in great need:  Pasta, pasta sauce, rice, peanut butter, jelly, tuna, cereal, canned fruit and roman noodles.  Please keep these items in mind when you do your grocery shopping.  Thank you!

Bags of Blessings are truly appreciated by the recipients because they provide nutrition when a meal isn't available.  The Mission Team appreciates all the donations given by the church which make this vital ministry possible.  The supplies are running a little low and we need to restock.  If you are out shopping and able to pick up a few supplies for the bags, please feel free to purchase the following items:

Since January 2007, we have been collecting loose change in our Wesley Tower Banks.  To date, we have received a total of $12,274.02.  This funding has been used to repay the funds we borrowed from our own church accounts when building the Tower.

We believe it's time for a change!  So, effective immediately, our church banks will be set out on communion Sundays and the ingathering of funds will be deposited in our Missions account.  This will help our church continue the great work it is doing in our community.  We appreciate your generous donations!
